Canning MP Andrew Hastie said 6100 homes and businesses in Herron and surrounding districts, such as Lake Clifton, will soon have access to faster and more reliable internet, with construction of the National Broadband Network now underway.
“The message for residents in Herron is clear – superfast broadband is on its way,” he said.
“Canning residents have expressed the need for fast, affordable and reliable internet.
“The nbn will enable households and businesses to operate more efficiently, including providing vital connectivity for students studying at home, and mums and dads will be able to take care of everyday tasks like accessing government services or paying bills quickly and easily online.”
Mr Hastie said the Turnbull Coalition government was rolling out high-speed broadband across Australia in the fastest and most affordable way, with every home and business in Australia to be able to connect to the nbn by 2020.
“More than 70,000 homes and businesses across Australia are signing up to the nbn every single month, and there are already approximately 36,163 homes and businesses in the Canning electorate experiencing the benefits of the nbn,” he said.
Final network designs for Herron are now complete, meaning that over coming weeks local residents will see nbn subcontractors connecting the area with new high-speed broadband technology.
As nbn construction is completed over coming months in Herron, residents and businesses will be able to sign up to an nbn plan with their chosen retail service provider and will be supplied with a new modem to enable high-speed broadband.
A range of plans with various download quotas and speed tiers are available to suit consumer and business needs.
