Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) submission on the Review of the Fibre-Ready Facility Exemptions under Part 20A of the Telecommunications Act 1997 (“the Exemptions”).
UDIA is a strong supporter of the Pit and Pipe Exemptions. They will continue to be necessary to sensibly balance provision of NBN services by fixed line or other means as well as ensuring existing legacy/hybrid systems can be maintained without excessive cost on new, unnecessary infrastructure. Critically the exemptions avoid unnecessary and wasteful provision in areas where fixed line service will not be provided.
