It is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) to tamper or interfere with
communication facilities owned by a carrier. Heavy penalties may apply for breach of this prohibition,
and any damages suffered, or costs incurred by Telstra as a result of any such unauthorised works
may be claimed against you.
Only Telstra and its contractors may access and conduct works on Telstra’s network (including its plant and
assets). This requirement is to ensure that Telstra can protect the integrity of its network, avoid disruption to
services and ensure that the relocation meets Telstra’s requirements.
If Telstra relocation or protection works are part of the agreed solution, then payment to Telstra for the cost of
this work shall be the responsibility of the principal developer, constructor or person for whom the work is
performed. The principal developer or constructor will be required to provide Telstra with the details of their
proposed work showing how Telstra's plant is to be accommodated and these details must be approved by
the Regional Network Integrity Manager prior to the commencement of site works.
