I am not aware of any problems in relation to the provision of connectivity for broadband in new developments, but I understand that the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources wishes to meet with my Department to discuss a number of matters of interest to both our Departments. My Department will be happy to facilitate such a meeting at an early date.
