Dunedin City Digital Communications Strategy - Update of Proposal Nov 2009 (PDF, 78kb, new window)

Background

Following initial investigative work, which the Council's Economic Development Unit began in 2005, it was determined a definitive strategy or policy was required to govern the implementation and operation of a digital communication network within Dunedin City.

The Council has been involved in many discussions regarding local, regional and South Island-wide issues relating to this subject. There are numerous and complex digital communications issues which face the city, and, by default require the attention and expertise of various departments throughout the Council. To create a consistent response to these issues, it was established that a strategy should be developed to guide Council staff, and to inform funders, businesses and the community.

In April 2009, approval was gained from the Economic Development Committee to begin scoping a strategy for Dunedin City. An interim steering group was assembled who agreed that the Digital Communications Strategy should focus on the long-term vision for Dunedin and its digital communications future. The scope of the strategy will address more than just broadband or fibre in the ground, covering components such as relevant content, capability and confidence.
