The New Development Charge is a fee charged for all connections made in areas that the fibre infrastructure provider (e.g., RedTrain) has identified as within the boundary of a new development. Essentially, it means if fibre internet has never been used at a property before, this one-time fee will be charged to the end user no matter which internet service provider is used. The implementation of this fee was a decision made by the Australian government to offset part of the fibre infrastructure’s cost onto “the parties that use or benefit from them.”. RedTrain may charge a $300 New Development Fee if your premises is identified as being within the site boundary of a new development. RedTrain will contact you directly for the charge before activating the NTD and Internet service for you.
