NBN Co is adopting         a   proactive, whole-of LGA approach to consultation for the Fixed
Wireless Network in the Sunshine Coast region. Following discussions with Council, NBN
Co have   designed        a    Communications Plan which outlines the communications and
consultation approach supporting the rollout of the NBN Fixed Wireless network in the
Sunshine Coast LGA.

NBN Co services. This involved a high level discussion of the proposed locations, facility
designs and topographical characteristics and constraints of the area.
