The state government has just announced that it is committing a huge amount of resources to boosting broadband connections for regional and outer metro areas of Australia. The commitment includes $1.1 billion to deliver better broadband services now and $2 billion invested to secure services into the future.
This is great news for the regional areas like ours where getting access to broadband is patchy outside of the town areas. As part of this program if you still cannot access broadband there are subsidies available of either $2750 for satellite broadband or $1100 for wireless or ADSL broadband.
If you're not on broadband yet you're missing out on much of the rich content that websites can deliver. Call your Internet Service Provider today and ask if they can hook you up! |

Blue Square Design recently won a contract to produce the Official Visitors Guide for Macedon Ranges tourism.
This publication is the main tourism information source for visitors to the region and will be very similar in format to the Gisborne and Woodend Guides that we produce each year. We will manage the entire project, on behalf of the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, from selling the advertising space, designing the layout, producing the ads and managing the printing.
If you are a tourism orientated business located in the Macedon Ranges lookout for the prospectus in your mailbox in the coming weeks.

Motorcycles are made up of many parts and if you ride them they are bound require replacement parts at some stage. Based on this simple premise Bolton Motorcycles has built a reputation in Australia for being the largest dealer for KTM motorcycle spare parts. Selling not only KTM motorcycles but also the Honda and Suzuki brands along with Stihl, Husqvarna and Toro in Power Equipment.
The main feature of the new site is the redevelopment of the online shop to expand it from not only offering KTM spare parts online but also all the popular accessories that riders need to keep their machines operating in top condition.
This site is an excellent example of how e-commerce allows business to attract a market much greater than would otherwise be possible. Bolton's have achieved great success online by understanding their market and making it convenient for customers to access a niche product.
