NBN public consultation for Gungahlin announced

A open public consultation is to be held about the NBN deployment to approximately 3000 premises in the Gungahlin region, which is planned for deployment in the 2nd quarter of 2011.

The consultation will be held by the Gungahlin Community Council at our October 13th meeting at the Palmerston Community Centre on Tiptree Crescent at 7.30pm.

Glenn Holdstock, the NBN Co Community and Stakeholder Relations Manager will speak about the early NBN deployment to Gungahlin, and then will open the floor for community discussion and questions.

NBN Co will also be meeting with territory and federal representatives, local businesses, domain experts and community groups for consultation.

This is an opportunity for members in the community to help ensure this early stage NBN rollout to Gungahlin best meets the short and long term needs of the community.
