NBN Network Upgrade Underway In Ingham

As part of a nationwide upgrade, construction has commenced on the nbn network infrastructure of both residential properties and businesses in Ingham with additional fibre connections set to be installed over the coming weeks.

Ventia has been working away to strengthen the nbn network of the community on behalf of nbn, with crews assuring they’ll be taking extra care to minimise disruptions during the construction period.

Residents are advised there may be some temporary footpath and/or road closures in the area as well as an increase in dust and noise in association with the construction and when possible, residents have been kindly asked to park vehicles in private driveways.

Construction will take place during the scheduled hours of work between Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm and Ventia has confirmed the ongoing works will have no impact on the community’s existing telecommunications network.

The proposed improvements will entail the installation of cables through existing underground pipes or existing overhead power poles, digging and/or drilling on public property such as under footpaths or on nature strips and the installation of pits, similar to existing telecommunication pits.

“We will endeavour to restore any land affected during construction to a condition similar to what it was before the activity began,” stated Ventia Group in a release issued to local businesses.

“Please take care when near a construction zone and always follow pedestrian and traffic management instructions.”

Ventia encourages concerned residents to contact the group via email stakeholder.telco@ventia.com or phone 1300 275 799.
