      Hi team,

      I am currently trying to get an idea of realistic operating costs for such a remote community. If possible, do you have any rough ball park of how much current infrastructure (such as the community centre or each station) costs to maintain each year?

      Many thanks,
      Olivia

        Hi Olivia,

        Apologies, we don’t have this information. I imagine that its quite variable. One thing to consider is that maintenance costs would be more expensive in rural areas when you factor in the transport costs.

        Kind regards,
        Evelyn
