Inverell NRMA Charger
Hello. When do you plan on switching this on? I’ve seen post from NRMA saying by end or the year. Now rumour says end of March, today I called your helpline and was told there’s no ETA on go live for this site. Trying to plan a visit that way over Easter but this is making things hard!
