Unit Owners – don’t miss out on the NBN

Posted on Posted in Hints for Strata Living, News, Strata Compliance

Every Australian home, apartment and business will be connected to the NBN by 2021, either by fibre optic cable, fixed-wireless or satellite.

More then one in five of the buildings expected to be connected are multi-unit strata dwellings.

The challenge is that there isn't any central register of office bearers or strata managers to know who's managing each building and where they can be contacted in order to arrange connection of the cable to the property.

For self-managed strata schemes (an area of particular interest for me with my company OurBodyCorp) it's important not to be forgotten when the cables out.  I'll be prompting my customers to check the NBN Roll Out Map and see when the cable comes to town in your area and get ready (click on the link, it's really interesting).

Mark Lever, CEO of Strata Community Australia says,

"The last thing anyone wants is for households to miss out on the benefits of the NBN simply because no-one could be contacted to assist with building access."

"A standard installation into a multi-unit residential community is free, as is ongoing maintenance of the NBN equipment and cables, so there is no cost to the building and no reason not to get on board."

Free installation will only be available for a limited time. Once the rollout has been completed in the area, for NBN Co to have to go back and connect a property at another time will incur a cost.
