The NSW government's push to connect its agencies to an AU$300 million statewide broadband network is gaining momentum with the Rural Fire Service, Office of State Revenue and the Department of Corrections set to join the five foundation participants.
The New South Wales state government has quietly created a new shared services agency that will, among other things, provide centralised IT services to a large number of departments and agencies.
The NSW government on Saturday switched on the core of its new broadband network in a move it said would "close the digital divide" between country and metropolitan areas of the state.
Queensland has appointed an interim chief technology officer and confirmed the appointment of a temporary chief information officer as part of sweeping changes to the way the state's internal IT systems are governed.
The New South Wales government has pledged to continue its sponsorship of tradeshow CeBIT to further enhance the state's position in the eyes of the ICT investment industry.
