Lets say the original address was 12 Windsor Lane, the two new subdivided lots got assigned 12 Windsor Lane and 12A Windsor Lane. I bought 12A Windsor Lane. Built a new house there, builder made all the necessary NBN provisions, conduit to pit at the front, internal conduits etc and house got handed over last month. I applied for an NBN connection through an ISP and i've been told that my house address doesn't exist in the NBN system. I've phone around and i was sent the link to apply for a new development though NBN to get a connection. This was from one of the ISPs and was told that i may have to pay a fee. https://www.nbnco.com.au/develop-or-plan-with-the-nbn Reading through the information on this website, its seems to be intended for land developers. Not the end property owner. Now I'm stuck at this point not knowing what to do. How the hell do i get an NBN connection to my property!? I've resorted to a fixed wireless connection for now till I sort this out. Should this have been the responsibility of the land developer who sold me the lot? or is it on me to request a connection? The website above doesn't seem to let me proceed any further as a home owner... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Re: NBN connection to new property 2Jun 25, 2022 5:14 pm Yes the developer should have done it, no they didn't do it. Council does not check its been done when they approve the development and they save themselves some money. Bit of a gap between the NBN's federal policy, and the way local councils dont enforce it. You either have to chase them for it (good luck!), or just pay it yourself. As I went through the same thing, I can assure you, NBN doesn't care if you are the developer or the home-owner, that new development application is what you need to do. I started mine about 6 months before I moved in, and the application took about that long to be completed as they had to install new infrastructure in my footpath to facilitate my connection (despite the area having HFC, they wont roll out new HFC, so I got FTTP and I'm the only one on that node). Edit: Also to note so its not unexpected, if you pay the $500 developer co-contribution (which they should have paid), when you sign up with an ISP for your new connection, they will also make you pay a $300 homeowner co-contribution too. Sucks. Re: NBN connection to new property 3Jun 25, 2022 9:29 pm Check you're not in an opticom estate. I find it highly unlikley a developer would have provided all the relevant provisions and there not be FTTP in the area Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it.
