Opening of Moonie Rural Transaction CentrePrint Page

The plaque commemorates the opening of the Moonie Rural Transaction Centre in July 2004.

The Rural Transaction Scheme (RTC) was launched in March 1999, as a Commonwealth Government initiative to restore services to rural and regional Australia. It was a $70 million program over five years and was funded from the sale of the first tranche of Telstra to establish 500 RTCs in rural areas with populations of up to 3,000. 

These transaction centres provide services such as personal banking, elements of business banking, postal services, Medicare Easyclaim facilities, and phone and fax facilities. The transaction centres are by local communities to boost small businesses and jobs in rural Australia.
