In accordance with Australian Government policy, nbn is required to recover cost of deploying the nbn® network infrastructure. 'Developer contribution charges' are applied to each premises that requires a new nbn® connection.
What is the developer contributions charge and what types of applications does this apply to?
Types of applications that the developer contribution charge applies to:
- New dwellings or lots being constructed, typically new buildings requiring a new mailing address
- Broadacre subdivisions
- Newly constructed apartments, townhouses or villa units
- Commercial premises – only for new lots or tenancies created or as part of an expansion.
- Subdivisions – only for the new lots that are created
- Granny flats/outbuildings – only if they are newly constructed and have a separate address from the primary residence (these instances will require a unique lead in conduit).
- Knock down rebuild – only if a new address is created. For example:
- If you knock down an existing house and create three new addresses, the three new addresses will attract the new developments charge
- If you don’t knock down the existing house and create three new addresses (four in total), only the three new addresses will attract the new developments charge.
- If you knock down a single house and rebuild a single house in its place – this will not attract a new developments charge.
It does not include:
- Building a single dwelling on a vacant block of land, where there is no existing nbn connection.
