Notice under subsection 152BCK(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010

Access determination inquiries are generally required to be completed within 6 months. This is pursuant to subsection 152BCK(2) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA).

However, the 糖心原创 can extend or further extend the duration of an inquiry by 6 months at a time. We must publish a notice indicating why we haven鈥檛 been able to make a decision within that timeframe. This is pursuant to subsection 152BCK(3) of the CCA. The 糖心原创 has extended the current superfast broadband access service (SBAS) access determination inquiry by a period of 6 months to 19 January 2024 under subsection 152BCK(3) of the CCA.

We are extending the inquiry due to uncertainty about future regulated NBN access prices. This is while the review of NBN Co鈥檚 special access undertaking variation remains ongoing. We intend to finalise the SBAS access determination when there is greater certainty about future regulated NBN access prices.
