Telecommunications in new developments

If you are a developer or owner-builder, there are important Commonwealth telecommunications rules that need to be complied with.

NBN infrastructure in new developments

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

Developers can choose any carrier to service their development. If they don’t choose another carrier:

• NBN is the Infrastructure Provider of Last Resort for larger developments (100 lots or more) and for all developments in areas where NBN is rolling out.
• Telstra is the Infrastructure Provider of Last Resort for smaller developments (less than 100 lots), until the NBN rolls out in the area.

Developers are asked to apply at least 6 months before the required date of service, to ensure a connection is ready when residents move in.

If you have a new or recently approved development application lodged with the City of Onkaparinga, please visit NBN’s website to register your development.
