More than 2400 Kurjunjang houses will soon have access to high-speed internet, with work on the next stage of the National Broadband Network about to begin.
NBN Co spokesman Trent Williams confirmed last week that Kurjunjang would become the second area in Melton to be part of the national rollout.
He said construction typically took 12 months.
“We are trying to choose areas where they have not always had fantastic services,’’ he said.
Central Melton was named in June 2012, to be the first established area in the municipality to receive the network.
“We are half to three-quarters through for Melton,’’ Mr Williams said. ‘‘We’re expecting it to be ready towards middle to late this year.”
Bacchus Marsh became the first Victorian regional town to be connected to the NBN in February 2013.
