• NSW – Riverstone (Western Sydney), Coffs Harbour

Five existing locations will also receive an additional rollout. These include Minnamurra/Kiama Downs, Armidale NSW, Townsville QLD, Brunswick VIC, and Willunga SA.

NBN Co has chosen the second release sites based on a range of engineering, network design and logistical criteria. Each site will see the network rolled out past approximately 3,000 premises. The areas to be covered within these locations will be determined by NBN Co after consultation with local authorities. Construction in the second release locations is scheduled for the second quarter of 2011.
