National Broadband Network (NBN)

The National Broadband Network (NBN) will bring high speed broadband to all Australians. Some parts of Cockburn have access to the NBN already and work is underway in other areas. Contact NBNCo if you have any queries regarding progress or service commencement dates.

Telecommunications infrastructure in new developments

Developers are responsible for providing telecommunications infrastructure in their developments. To provide this infrastructure, they need to contract a carrier to install telecommunications infrastructure in their new development.

NBN is the infrastructure provider of last resort in larger developments (100 lots or more). This means NBN is obliged to service the development on commercially agreed terms if you apply to NBN. Telstra is the infrastructure provider of last resort in smaller developments (less than 100 lots) until NBN publicly identifies an area as ‘ready for service’ in its fixed line rollout region.

Developers are asked to apply at least six months before the required date of service, to ensure a connection is ready when residents move in.

Do you have a new or recently approved development application lodged with the City? If so, plese register a new property development opens in a new window on the NBN website.
