If a local government or property developer has plans to construct new infrastructure or the road authorities have planned road works, nbn could investigate whether or not installing nbn™ conduits and pits at the same time is possible, where feasible. This may achieve shared efficiencies while minimising the impact and cost for the community.
Potential projects for co-development may include:
- Road works
- Works around rail corridors
- Construction of major sites
- Upgrades on communication assets
- Utility works
- Footpath works
- Cycleway construction
Typical co-development construction process
How it works
Projects will be assessed against criteria set by nbn to determine whether the project aligns with the nbn™ broadband access network construction plans. Importantly the project must be within the national rollout area.
Applicants are encouraged to register their interest early by submitting a completed co-development project form. The proposed third-party project will then be assessed at nbn’s soles discretion before proceeding with discussions of a co-development.
