Why Choose PC Link for Your NBN Installation?

At PC Link, we specialise in the design, compliance, and installation of NBN infrastructure. Our expert team is trained and accredited to ensure your development:

Whether you need a simple consultation or complete handling of the NBN process—we’ve got you covered.

Types of Developments: SDU vs. MDU

Understanding your development type is crucial:

  • SDU (Single Dwelling Unit): Standalone homes, duplexes, townhouses.
  • MDU (Multi Dwelling Unit): Buildings with 3+ units, such as apartments or strata developments.

💡 Granny flats or outbuildings need a separate address identifier to qualify for their own NBN connection.

Connecting NBN to Granny Flats – What You Need to Know

🔨 What You Need to Do Before Demolishing an NBN-Connected Property

If your property is already connected to the NBN, you’re in a fortunate position—but you also have a responsibility.

NBN infrastructure is legally protected and remains the property of NBN Co. Before you undertake any demolition activities, the NBN assets must be safely removed by authorised NBN personnel to avoid:

  • Costly repair or replacement fees

  • Potential fines

  • Long reconnection delays

Failing to protect existing infrastructure can delay your future NBN connection and cause unnecessary project complications.


🏠 Demolishing a Single Dwelling & Rebuilding One Dwelling

If you’re demolishing a single house and rebuilding a new single dwelling on the same lot:

  • You must arrange safe removal of all NBN infrastructure before demolition.

  • Do not damage or discard any NBN hardware (e.g., NBN box, conduit, fibre).

  • Because the address remains the same, this is not considered a “New Development” under NBN’s guidelines—so you do not need to lodge a New Development application.

  • Once the rebuild is complete, the previously removed NBN infrastructure can be reinstated and reconnected.

💡 Tip: Book the removal early to avoid delays in your build schedule.


🏘️ Demolishing a Single Dwelling & Rebuilding a Duplex or Multi-Unit Complex

If you’re planning to demolish a house and rebuild a duplex or multi-dwelling site, you’ll need to:

  • Ensure all existing NBN infrastructure is professionally removed before demolition.

  • Apply for a New Development connection with NBN.

  • Submit a Service Plan Design that outlines connection for each new unit.

  • Pay the Developer Contribution Charge:

    • $600 per unit for duplex or townhouse developments.

Each unit must have NBN infrastructure within its own legal property boundary—no shared lead-ins across properties.

🕒 Timeframe: Lodge your NBN New Development application at least 6 months before your planned occupancy date.


✅ Why Use an NBN-Trained Provider?

Engaging an NBN-trained provider like PC Link ensures:

  • Proper design and placement of infrastructure before construction begins

  • Faster approval of NBN applications

  • Avoidance of re-inspection fees, remediation costs, and project delays
