Caroline Le Couteur MLA reponds

November 28th, 2009 by Russell Leave a reply »

Caroline Le Couteur, the Greens member for Molonglo and deputy chair of ACT Planning Committee has responded to the letter I sent last week.

The level of local support and representation of this issues how covers all major parties. Also great is Caroline’s commitment to representing the issues at the ACT Planning Committee at its next meeting.

Chris Taylor should be getting letters and inquiries from all sides of politics now. This local pressure might spark some response from him.

I do want to make one point. Many people have commented about the TransACT roll out of FTTP in Gungahlin. From what I can gather it is only greefields sites currently under development. It does not yet include existing suburbs affected by congestion and RIM/CMUX deployments. More on that later.

The response is listed below for you to read. It is the electronic version she emailed to me. I have received a signed copy.

    Russell,
    I did read some information with regards to TransACT and older areas, i.e. brownfields but this is in reference to the NBN.
    Here are the links…

    Paul – most of the articles refer to retrofitting fibre to suburbs already with VDSL via cable. I will be writing to TransACT about the rest of Gungahlin…maybe we can be a brownfields trial area :)
