The documents detail how Telstra plans to undertake the separation, following the release of draft instruments in June which will be used to guide the separation undertaking as per the structural separation undertaking (SSU) outline.

It's believed Telstra will commit to the restructure being completed by the 1st July, 2018, by which point in time most Australian premises will have been disconnected from Telstra's copper and HFC networks and moved on the new National Broadband Network (NBN).

The separation detailed in the SSU will be enforceable by the ACCC and the Federal Court if Telstra fails to comply.

'The submission of these documents is another important step in finalising Telstra's participation in the rollout of the NBN,' Telstra CEO David Thodey said this morning.

'The SSU delivers robust, effective and appropriate equivalence and transparency during the migration period in a way that avoids the complexity, cost and industry disruption that would be caused by functional separation.'
