If you’re intending to remove or relocate your nbn™ supplied equipment (such as a connection box, associated cables and other equipment) due to renovation, demolition or a move of premises, here is some key information around the roles and responsibilities involved.
Renovation or demolition
Renovations or demolition may require the removal and or relocation of aerial or underground nbn™ network cables and nbn™ supplied equipment (such as a connection box, associated cables and other equipment). Only authorised nbn™ technicians can relocate your nbn™ supplied equipment.
You will need to apply for a request for this removal and or/relocation work to be assessed and eligibility confirmed. Please keep in mind that each application will incur a mandatory Commercial Works fee, which must be paid before any work begins. Fees will be discussed in detail with you, after assessment of the request for relocation is completed.
