National Broadband Network—rollout
(Question No 98)

Mr Smyth asked the Minister for Economic Development, upon notice, on 10 April 2013:

In relation to the National Broadband Network rollout in the ACT, can the Minister provide details on the (a) name of suburb, (b) level of work completed, (c) status of work, for example, on time or delayed, (d) anticipated delay and reason for delayed projects and (e) works where cables will have to be relayed, and extent of this work as a percentage of total project for identified suburb.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Government has no direct role in the ACT NBN Rollout; however, it has established an engagement and dialogue process with NBN Co and its local contractor - Silcar - to facilitate communications with relevant ACT Government service agencies, and to support the community consultation process around the project. In relation to the specifics of this question, there is detailed information on the NBN Rollout in the ACT on NBN Company’s website.
