Developer needs to do the AFR (application for reticulation), it is required by federal law but the issue is no agency enforces it. It should be a requirement before titles are issued, but the various government departments have been slow to act & amend approval process. Go back to developer wi...

Thank you, I didn’t realise all new homes get NBN lead ins, it makes sense though considering the roll out. I’m assuming then that the lead in cost is charged to you? The IT crowd is great, as is Jen 👍🏼 Yes telstra said it is legally the developers responsibility but if they dont put it in then the...

Generally the person who subdivides the land should do it, however I don't believe it gets put down as a condition on the WAPC approval, so they don't do it to save themselves money. We have a waiver that a client can sign if they are adamant that they don't want to do it, however it's really in yo...

Is it specifically a lead in for NBN service or is it just a general conduit/pipe for future services like voice and data? We’ve asked for a conduit in by our builders as we both work from home and definitely need Internet but I didn’t think all new builds get NBN links by default, I know businesse...

Fairly sure all new blocks in aus need an nbn connection now. Telstra don’t run copper into new homes anymore like the old days. Ask builder what nbn are putting in maybe you’ll get an option for fibre? Thanks I didn't realise telstra no longer run in copper, that explains why we need to put this i...

My understanding is that the pit and pipe design is required due to the creation of a new lot which would not have a communication / NBN pit currently. This ensures your property has no issues being connected to the NBN when it becomes available. Thank you for your response. Do you know if this is ...

We have purchased a block of land that has been subdivided (its not in a new estate). The builder has added a pit and pipe to site works, is this a requirement? He explained the land developer should have done it but they usually don't. I don't even understand why we need this? Can anyone please she...
