With the design for the micronode to be installed in stage 1 finalised, this confirms that residents will not<\/em><\/strong> be required to pay for the provision of fibre across the golf course from Stage 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a significant achievement for the committee, and we are grateful to NBNCo for working with us on resolving this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such<\/strong> \u201cGleneagles Estate Stage 1\u201d grouped applications are now open.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Grouped applications for \u201cGleneagles Stage 2\u201d are closed. You are welcome to submit an individual application at the <\/em>NBNCo website<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStage 1\u201d of Gleneagles Estate consists of the following streets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MacNeil Place<\/td><\/tr>
Mount Vernon Drive<\/td><\/tr>
Naismith Place<\/td><\/tr>
Soutar Place<\/td><\/tr>
Clark Place<\/td><\/tr>
Cremin Close<\/td><\/tr>

Some \u2018lessons learned\u2019 have been made through this process, and we have worked with NBNCo on refining the process as best we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A guide for applicants<\/strong> has been developed by the committee, which is available here<\/a>. There is also a checklist to get fibre to your home<\/a> which is a simplified checklist of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Groups will be formed based on proximity to one another and our understanding of Telstra conduit pathways to try to ensure the most logical and cost effective groupings are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will act as mentor, to answer questions that are not answered in the guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the expected costs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A costing and design process must<\/strong> to be undertaken in order to determine costs, and the reasons were explained directly by NBNCo staff to the community at meetings held in December 2017 and May 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We observed that for the 5 groups so far that have received quotes in “Stage 2” of the Estate, these costs have consistently been between $3,000-$4,000. These are a very<\/em><\/strong> different order of magnitude that NBNCo presented with their ‘Area Switch’ estimate of $8,363<\/a>. The quotes received are significantly cheaper than others have received throughout the country, based off the information collected through the Whirlpool forums<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
