This sponsorship will be the largest private donorship for SB3006 to date and will provide funding critical to the operational and community event costs necessary for SB3006 to help execute its mission to enhance the livability of Southbank through community events and advocacy.
DGtek recognises the potential nested within the Southbank community, the scope and opportunity to foster and inspire economies of the future through high performance internet, built by the best – bringing fibre optic cable to Southbank buildings.
For residents in connected buildings, Pineapple Net – a premium Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) internet service provider (ISP) will deliver:
- Highly competitive Internet plans. DGtek owns the network-meaning Pineapple Net do not have to pay the nbn like other ISP’s such as Telstra and Optus
- Symmetrical (equal) upload and download speeds-not currently available through any other ISP.
- A range of internet plans starting from as little as $59p/m for 150/150mbps up to 1 gig for only $119 p/m
Pineapple Net is ten times faster, cheaper and more reliable than a high-end NBN plan.

- To work with council and state government to ensure that the interests of Southbank residents are met and protected.
DGtek’s financial backing was critical to funding last year’s “A Very Merry Friend-mas” event and will continue to do so this year on 9 December 2023 at Boyd Park and Community Hub. The event – featuring live music, food trucks, Santa and elves, pet parade and more – drew over 600 Southbank residents last year.
