Premier launches NSW bid for broadband headquarters
Aug 09: Premier Nathan Rees revealed a bid team of distinguished experts which will lead Sydney’s campaign to win the Headquarters for the $43 billion National Broadband Network (NBN).
The Premier also declared a ‘call to arms’ to NSW business to support the bid during an address to the Sydney Chamber of Commerce today.
“Its time to confirm Sydney as the logical choice for the National Broadband project,” said Mr Rees.
“Sydney’s track record of delivering big projects is a clear advantage over other cities – we delivered the Olympics not the Commonwealth Games.
“Our bid against strong contenders including Brisbane and Melbourne needs a relentless and united front from business and government to get us over the line.
“NSW’s business community must mobilise to tell the federal government Sydney is the obvious choice.
