That further to the advocacy and representation already undertaken by council with NBN Co, Council:
1.
Notes local and broader concerns about the structural equity surrounding the delivery of NBN services around the Shire.
2.
Request a review and report from NBN Co regarding the service boundaries, the
average performance of the service and the average cost to upgrade to the best available theoretical performance of each technology, the bench mark being the details provided in the “Open Letter to Bellingen” delivered to Shire residents last year by NBN Co, namely 100/40Mbps for Fibre to the Node, Fibre To The Curb and Fixed Wireless; and 25/5 25 for Skymuster.
3.
Receive an urgent report to next available Council meeting on the results of this review/report by NBN Co, given the NBN roll out is currently underway across the Shire.
