Dear NBN Co Limited,

I wish to obtain information regarding to the Build Commencement date for 5EZB Elizabeth.
This FSAM initially had a rollout commencing in: "May 2013 in phases with last construction scheduled to commence in Jun 2014. It is estimated that the average time from construction beginning to NBN services being available is 12 months"

This FSAM has now been removed from the rollout map, even though it was due to commence before the federal election.

Can you please advise the expected Build Commencement data for this FSAM.

Yours faithfully,
Russell Hancock

You might get a knock back for this one; given it is 'publically available' - and the absence implies it is no longer being targeted. You might be better off asking for documentation on why it was removed - project status reports, recommendation documents; risk register entries that relate to your area.

David Mesman, NBN Co Limited

I find it really odd that they don't have this information in written form. They provided similar information to another user on RTK here - https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/b... only in March this year.

You could request an internal review of the decision, mentioning that they have released similar information earlier in the year?
