About this inquiry

This Bill would amend the National Broadband Network Companies Act 2011 to create a new tower access regime for towers owned or operated by NBN corporations. It would also allow the Minister for Communications to specify certain temporary telecommunications towers as low-impact facilities in certain circumstances.
