Dear Ms Dickins
FOI Application – July 2013 Rollout Statistics
I am writing in relation to your request made under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
the FOI Act). In particular, you sought
NBN Co’s rollout and activation figures for the period 31 July 2013.
As outlined in my FOI decision of 5 September 2013, NBN Co deferred access to the July 2013 rollout statistics for
approximately 60 days and pending review of that information by the company’s board and executive. As the deferral period
has ended, I am providing you with the information requested, which is found at
Attachment 1.
In accordance with the FOI Act, NBN Co is required to publish documents provided to FOI applicants within 10 working days
after release. The information you seek may be published in full (as released to you) or with some additional redactions as per
section 11C of the FOI Act. For further information, visit
our Disclosure Log on NBN Co’s website a
t www.nbnco.com.au/about-
us/media/freedom-of-information/disclosure-log.html.
If you have any questions or need to discuss your FOI application, please feel free to contact the writer on Tel. (02) 8918 8596

Sincerely,
David J Mesman

Figures are rounded to the nearest ’00. For reference, NBN Co’s reporting cycles do not always correspond to the end of a given month. After
undertaking the relevant searches required by the FOI Act, I was satisfied that – as per section 24(b)(i ) – no such documents existed. However, I
have endeavoured to provide the most relevant data – and to the closest proximate date requested, being 4 August 2013 – for the July 2013
rollout data.

NBN Co does not report this metric, but is calculated as “Construction commenced or completed less premises passed”.

At the requested date there were 184,800 premises passed, al of which wil be able to order a service. 124,200 were able to order a service via
an RSP at the requested date. The majority of the remaining premises are MDUs (multiple dwelling units) which wil be able to be connected in
accordance with NBN Co’s MDU processes.
