Go West: Blacktown NBN rollout photos

First fibre laid down on Blacktown Road.

on Jan 17 2013 3:23PM

Fibre optic hauling took place in Blacktown today near the busy Blacktown Road during final preparations to connect to the NBN. It is the first NBN fibre optic cable to be installed in metropolitan Sydney.

The local distribution fibre was hauled on the corner of Main Street and Marcel Crescent. (Pictured: Cable being hauled into a fibre optic pit off Blacktown Road.)

Federal Member for Greenway, Michelle Rowland, and various Blacktown City council members pose for the cameras. "Locals will be able to start connecting to the NBN’s broadband in the next few months," Rowland said.

“Today’s fibre haul here in Blacktown marks an important step in the rollout of the NBN to not only Western Sydney but Sydney as a whole,” NBN Co spokesperson Darren Rudd said in a statement. Select homes and businesses in Blacktown are expected to be connected to the NBN as early as July 2013.
