Fibre network extension

To ensure more of New Zealand can run on fibre, we’re extending our fibre network to give 10,000 more Kiwi homes and businesses access to fibre services

Overview

Keep up to date with progress on our large scalefibre build programme including when you’ll be able to make the most of new connect opportunities.

The new build programme began in mid-February 2024 with civil works finishing in July 2025 and the final premises in the programme expected to be ready for service by October 2025.

It has seen fibre rolled out to 59 communities across New Zealand in locations adjacent to urban areas or close to the existing Chorus network, from Kerikeri in the north to Winton in the south.

The below table outlines the ready for service dates in each location along with number of premises. Please note the dates are indicative and may be subject to change.
