Connecting NBN to Granny Flats – What You Need to Know
Please note: Granny flats that share the same street address as the main residence typically cannot receive a separate NBN connection, as each service must be linked to a unique registered address.
However, there are alternative ways to connect NBN to a granny flat—but success depends on careful planning and correct infrastructure setup during the early stages of development.
At PC Link, we can advise you on the best approach to ensure seamless internet access to your granny flat, whether through proper NBN provisioning, internal cabling solutions, or network extension methods.
Early consultation is key—speak with us before construction begins to explore your options and avoid complications later.
NBN (National Broadband Network), an SDU, or Single Dwelling Unit, refers to a building containing one or two premises, such as a standalone house, terrace house, or duplex. Essentially, it’s a building designed for a single household.
NBN Connections for New Developments
Whether you’re building a duplex, single dwelling, or a multi-unit development, PC Link simplifies the NBN connection process—ensuring faster approvals, full compliance, and reliable service activation.
Our NBN-trained technicians, will provide a complete, end-to-end solution across Sydney and surrounding areas.
📅 Recommended Timeframes
To avoid project delays, we recommend starting the NBN process as early as possible:
Single units & duplexes – Apply at least 3 months before your expected service date
Multi-dwelling or larger developments – Apply at least 6 months in advance
💰 NBN New Development Charges
$600 per premises – For single dwellings, duplexes, or terrace housing
$400 per premises – For strata buildings or developments with 3 or more dwellings
Here’s a polished and professional version of that section, suitable for client-facing content:

🔨 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
