NBN Co has announced fibre rollout plans for additional areas in New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria.

NBN Co continues to release its outline plans to extend the fibre rollout to additional areas. The latest version of the plan shows work starting on the connection of an additional 70,600 premises in four states by the end of this year.

Most of the new action is in the southwest of the nation, with three new areas in both Victoria and Tasmania.

In Tasmania, work is planned to begin in Bellerive in March, and 'Claremont, Hobart' and South Launceston in December. Connections to 27,200 premises in these areas will be built or under way by the end of the year.

Moving north, Footscray should see work start in November, followed by Karingal and Keysborough in December. 25,200 connections will be started by December 31.

The remaining new sites are Corrimal, NSW (November, 8300 connections); and Ascot, Queensland (November, 9900 connections).
