2CYS FSA Build Dates

David made this Freedom of Information request to NBN Co Limited

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was refused by NBN Co Limited.

Dear NBN Co Limited,

I wish to obtain a document outlining the current expected date for:
1. instructions to commence detailed design and field inspection work; and
2. instructions to commence construction work,

to be issued to NBN Co's delivery partners in relation to the Brownfields Fibre build in the 2CYS Fibre Serving Area.

Yours faithfully,

David C

Dear David

I have received your request for information however, I am unclear on the exact scope of what it is you are requesting.

You have requested:

"a document outlining the current expected date for:
1. instructions to commence detailed design and field inspection work; and
2. instructions to commence construction work,

to be issued to NBN Co's delivery partners in relation to the Brownfields Fibre build in the 2CYS Fibre Serving Area."

Your request appears to include documents related to forecast dates i.e "current expected date..", rather than actual dates instructions were issued to commence the relevant work streams.

I also wanted to draw your attention to a recent decision I issued and related to a similar request for "instructions to commence detailed design and inspection work" - https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/6.... While I am not making a determination nor have I examined the relevant documents in connection to your request, I thought it might be helpful for you to understand the reasons given for not releasing those documents in that instance.

As you will undoubtedly be aware, processing charges may be imposed in connection to an FOI request and a factor that can increase the charges is the search and retrieval time, and the time taken to review the results of the searches. With this in mind I wanted to provide you with the opportunity to narrow the scope of your request and also to review a recent NBN Co decision in relation to documents of a similar nature.

The legislative timeframes for completing this FOI request will not commence until such time as I am clear on exactly what it is that you are seeking.

Do feel free to give me a call to discuss.

Kind regards

Dear Yvette,

According to NBNCo's FY14 annual results presentation dated 28 August 2014, at page 13, NBNCo's FY15 construction program had been agreed with its Delivery Partners.

I would simply like a document outlining the current date that NBNCo expects to instruct (or has instructed, if that is the case) those Delivery Partners to:
1. commence detailed design and field inspection work; and
2. commence construction work,

in relation to the Brownfields Fibre build in the 2CYS Fibre Serving Area.

Whether this involves current forecast dates or dates that have already been agreed in principle with Delivery Partners as part of the FY15 plans would be within NBNCo's own knowledge.

Yours sincerely,

David

FOIOfficer, NBN Co Limited
