NBN Co has announced 14 new sites next in line to be strung up with fibre broadband services as part of the rollout of the National Broadband Network.
All of Australia's mainland states and territories were represented among the new sites.
Residents in Bacchus Marsh, 45 minutes west of Melbourne, and the Melbourne suburb of South Morang join Brunswick in receiving NBN Co connections.
The inner-north suburbs of Brisbane, the new Lend Lease housing estate at Springfield Lakes, and regional centre Toowoomba are among the winners in Queensland.
Riverstone in Western Sydney will be the first NBN Co site in the New South Wales state capital, and residents of seaside city Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast will also be connected.
In Western Australia, the Perth suburb of Victoria Park joins Geraldton and Mandurah on the list, as does Casuarina in the Northern Territory.
Gunghalin, a suburb in the Australian Capital Territory with a history of connection issues, finally got its wish to be connected to high-speed broadband.
Modbury and Prospect were chosen in South Australia.
NBN Co said it would commence construction of networks in first release sites this month and begin on second release sites in the second quarter of 2011.
