Five months after their last request, many Darley residents are still waiting for the National Broadband Network Company (NBNCo) to confirm whether a local rollout of high-speed broadband will happen as originally planned.
Moorabool mayor Paul Tatchell says the community wants confirmation the development of the area north of Wittick Street – listed as a fibre-serving area on previous maps – will go ahead.
“[NBNCo has] spent too much time consulting in our community and designing the network to deliver anything else than the fully funded, minimum 100 megabits per second connection,” Cr Tatchell said.
NBNCo told the council in November last year it was “unwilling” to confirm the status of parts of the rollout, sparking fears about its future.
