Introduction
NBN Network Restoration Incident Report
- Incident Overview: A major NBN service outage was caused by third-party damage to fibre and conduit beneath a roundabout, requiring the replacement of over 400 metres of fibre.
- Restoration Status: As of 01-05-2026, fibre splicing is complete, and services are progressively restoring. Full restoration is expected within one hour of the final update.
- Key Challenges:
- Safety: Temporary cabling solutions were deemed unsafe due to the length required (450m–600m) and the need to traverse busy intersections and footpaths.
- Logistics: The repair required directional drilling and significant civil works.
- Regulatory Delays: Restoration was delayed by the need for Land Access and Road Opening permissions from the local council, which were unavailable during a long weekend/public holiday.
- Timeline of Key Events:
- 25-04-2026: Incident identified; temporary solutions ruled out due to safety risks and complexity.
- 28-04-2026: Council permissions granted; civil works team engaged.
- 29-04-2026: Initial drilling attempts failed due to high risk of further infrastructure damage; alternative routes assessed.
- 30-04-2026: Restoration design approved; civil crews and traffic control mobilized to site.
- 01-05-2026: Fibre cable installed; splicing commenced and completed; services restored.
