The benefits of fibre in new developments:
By incorporating fibre into the early stages of construction, developers are able to:
- Bring uniform broadband coverage within the reach of 100 percent of premises in new estates;
- 'Future-proof' new developments to ensure residents have access to high speed broadband now and into the future;
- Maximise efficiency and lower costs by installing fibre like a utility service when trenches are open; and
- Market new developments as 'NBN Ready' estates, with residents in these developments being among the first in Australia to benefit from the high speeds available over the NBN.
Developer Responsibilities:
To be eligible to receive NBN Co fibre infrastructure, developers need to complete the following steps:
- Register all requests for NBN Co fibre infrastructure via NBN Co's online application form
- Sign and return the Developer Agreement - NBN Co cannot reticulate fibre into a new development without a Developer Agreement in place.
Developers need to give NBN Co at least three months notice prior to the commencement of construction/civil works to ensure NBN Co has adequate time to plan the installation of fibre.
- Design pit and pipe infrastructure to NBN Co specifications and standards and submit to NBN Co for review prior to installation - Pit and Pipe Installation Guidelines.
- Install pit and pipe infrastructure to NBN Co specifications and standards.
- Transfer ownership of pit and pipe infrastructure to NBN Co.
