February 2016 sees construction of the nbn® commence in the city centre of Wangaratta. The first pits can now be seen to be dug which will deliver high speed broadband access to homes and businesses across Wangaratta using NBN's fibre to the node technology.


At the time of writing the wide spread areas surrounding Wangaratta already have access to high speed broadband via Fixed Wireless nbn®. Half of the city centre is in the 'build commenced stage' with the other half of the city centre in 'build preparation'. The image below is taken from mynbn.info which collates the publicly available information on the nbn® rollout and displays it in map form. The brown areas show those areas in 'build commenced' while the green areas are in 'build preparation'. The purple areas show the areas where nbn® Fixed Wireless can be ordered right now!

It is likely that parts of Wangaratta city centre will be ready before others. In total approximately 9,800 properties will be connected to the nbn® using this method in Wangaratta.
