| 83 DEVELOPMENT Projects & Ventures: Atawhai Downs Development For today’s property developers creating a modern subdivision involves more than roads, power and green spaces. With reliable high-speed internet now an essential utility for homes and businesses, ensuring properties are ibre-ready from day one has become an important part of the development process. “Installing ibre infrastructure as part of the initial civil works means developers can avoid the disruption and expense of retro itting services later,” explains Steve Nemeth, Network Tasman Fibre Business Development Manager. “Underground cabling can be installed while trenches are already open for other utilities, helping to create an e icient and tidy development while avoiding the need to disturb completed driveways, roads and landscaping.” Network Tasman Fibre works alongside local developers to provide ibre reticulation design and construction for new residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions throughout Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough. It has operated an extensive ibre network across the Top of the South for 22 years and continues to expand its ibre infrastructure through both green ield and brown ield subdivision developments including the new subdivision at Atawhai Downs as an example. Steve says working with Network Tasman also helps developers navigate the technical and regulatory requirements involved in subdivision projects. Its dedicated team can assist with network design and the requirements associated with council approvals, Section 224 certi ication and network easements. He says early planning is key. “Network Tasman can work with developers from the initial concept stage, coordinating proposed ibre infrastructure with electricity and other utility layouts. Certi ied reticulation plans then detail the underground ducting and network boundaries required to service individual lots. Once construction begins, technicians can install the necessary micro-tubing and ibre elements while civil works are under way.” Steve says this coordinated approach makes better use of open service trenches and reduces the likelihood of costly remedial work later. The process continues through to inal handover, with documentation and asset sign-o s supporting title clearance and helping keep section sales and subsequent building work on track. Network Tasman has also recently entered a strategic partnership with Enable Networks, expanding the range of Retail Service Providers that can be supported across its network. New residents can use Network Tasman’s Fibre Address Checker to identify available internet service options when they move into their homes. “For developers planning a subdivision in the top of the South Island, engaging with Network Tasman early can help ensure ibre infrastructure is incorporated smoothly into the project from the outset.” To discuss a project or submit concept plans, contact Steve Nemeth, Fibre Business Development Manager, on 021 241 9857 or steve.nemeth@networktasman.co.nz Future-proofing local subdivisions with fibre connectivity FIBRE BROADBAND IS HERE SURF, DOWNLOAD AND STREAM AT AMAZING SPEEDS.
