    Consultation and town planning requirements

    NBN Co works in consultation with local councils to determine an

    efficient and effective way to rollout the fixed wireless network.
    A key consideration in these decisions is the design of the

    network. which takes a number of factors into account including

    population density, geography, radio frequency and other
    network specific considerations.


    Wherever possible NBN Co looks actively to use existing
    Infrastructure when planning the fixed wireless network before

    proposing new structures.
