Easements
For developments where parts of our network are installed over shared land or through one lot to service a different lot, an easement is needed to protect and maintain our network installed within the boundary of your development.
Find out if you need an easement for your development and what's involved.
Pre-built fibre
When you develop with Chorus, we can pre-install fibre in every premise so you can market your development as ‘fibre ready’ and provide a better experience for your new occupants.
