In November 2018 the Telecommunications Act was amended, requiring the Commerce Commission to prepare a Copper withdrawal Code by 1 January 2022.

The Copper Withdrawal Code came into effect on 1 March 2021 setting out minimum requirements that Chorus must meet before it stops supplying copper services. For more information on the Code, see Copper Withdrawal Code.

The Commission consulted with interested persons and stakeholders for the Code development and implementation and the documents published as part of the process are listed below.
