Telecommunications (Property Access and Other Matters) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill is intended to reduce compliance costs for Telecommunications Development Levy payers by addressing identified issues with the liability allocation process; reduce the time taken to obtain the consent of all parties with an interest in the property a fibre connection needs to occupy; and extend the regulatory requirements relating to the Ultra-Fast Broadband programme to the extension of that programme.
