There are a number of steps to complete when designing and building nbn® network infrastructure for your development.
To help guide you through this process, we’ve compiled the following information.
Discover which option best applies to your development when connecting to the nbn network:
Lead-in Conduits (LIC), which refer to:
- Conduits connected to the nbn network directly from the front boundary of the property.
Typically used in developments with:
- 1 to 8 premises facing an existing road
- No private roads in the development
- No additional services that require an nbn connection (fire alarms, security systems, elevator phone lines).
Examples
Single storey house, duplexes, subdivided homes.
Pit and pipe, which refer to:
- Conduits installed underground into shared local network pits.
Typically used in developments with:
- Multiple premises
- New roads built as part of the development (private roads or public roads to be handed over to the local council).
Examples
Super lots, townhouses, retirement villages, schools, and hospitals.
Pathways, which refer to:
- Conduits and cable trays installed into the walls of the building structure.
Typically used in developments with:
- Multiple commercial premises
- Additional essential services that require an nbn connection (fire alarms, security systems, elevator phone lines).
Examples
High rise apartments or offices.
Work with an nbn® trained New Developments supplier
We encourage developers (big and small) to seek the assistance and support of an industry professional or an nbn trained New Developments supplier - designer or installer. As it’s your responsibility to ensure the design and build of the nbn® infrastructure within your property boundary meets our standards, the assistance of an expert can be extremely helpful.
