QuestionView source ↗
(1) What is the estimated cost of the communication network being established around the dark fibre acquisitions? (2) Has any research been undertaken to evaluate the economic viability and efficiency of such a government owned and run network? (3) If yes to (2), will the Leader of the House table the results of the research; and, if no, what is the motivation for such a plan? Hon KIM CHANCE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank Hon Alan Cadby for the question. Dark fibre in my portfolio area means something entirely different from the nature of this question. It is quite a lengthy answer, Mr President, and I seek leave to table the answer and have it incorporated in Hansard . Leave granted. The following material was incorporated - 1. There are currently two network connections being procured using dark fibre. A leased link from the Perth CBD to the new Shared Corporate Services Centre in Cannington is estimated to cost $11,000 in installation and $68,000 per annum in leased line rental from the preferred carrier. The other link is from the Governor Stirling Tower in St George’s Terrace to Parliament House and to Dumas House in West Perth. This involves two hops of less than 500 metres each, which means that the Government is not obliged to buy the service from a licensed carrier. Instead the Government is purchasing the dark fibre outright for an estimated capital cost of $120,000, with virtually no ongoing running costs. 2. Yes. In both cases the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the Department of Treasury and Finance undertook extensive research into the various procurement options. 3. No, I am advised a formal report is not available. However, the use of Dark fibre will be considered on a case by case basis where: · it is available; · substantial savings and other productivity benefits to government can be achieved; · multiple agencies can make shared use of common infrastructure; · there is likely to be a rapid growth in demand for bandwidth by participating agencies; · the resources are available within agencies to manage the network, and · the risk is assessed as acceptably low and manageable. Other options, including the purchase of basic carriage services and fully managed services from carriers, will continue to be used to meet the needs of agencies where appropriate.
