155ZP: Exemption from body corporate duties of repair and maintenance

You could also call this:

"No need to fix fibre equipment in your complex"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are part of a body corporate, you do not have to repair and maintain fibre network equipment in your complex. This is because the equipment was installed as part of the UFB initiative. You are exempt from this obligation, even if the Unit Titles Act 2010 or your licence, lease, or other agreement says you have to do the repairs. This means you do not have to fix the equipment, even if you normally would have to under other rules or agreements.
