It's not always NBN's fault:

Eppalock residents are demanding answers from local politicians and
NBN Co about a nearby National Broadband Network tower, which has
remained idle since early 2013.

- - Eppalock was one of four sites which was built in 2013 with the
original plan to link them back to a site called Mt Camel.
- Community objections were raised for the proposed nbn site at Mt
Camel and subsequently, the proposal went to the Victorian planning
tribunal (VCAT) which ruled against nbn and they lost their appeal in
mid-2015.
- Therefore, nbn needed to change the design of the network in the
area so the four sites linked back to Bendigo South.
- The upgrade works at Bendigo South were recently completed to cater
for the changes and nbn are now targeting to turn on Eppalock and the
three other sites at the end of June. Provided there are no unforseen
issues, nbn will be able to start accepting orders from the 1st July.
Given that the tower was built in 2013, it was undoubtedly part of the
original plan, not a consequence of changing horses in mid-stream. Of
course, the locals are only in uproar because they were left in the
dark. That *is* NBN's fault.
