Subject: Official Information request - Selection criteria for UFB2
rollout communities
 
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
 
With reference to the recently announced UFB2 expansion program, which
states that it expands the coverage to 84% of New Zealand, I seek further
detail on the methodology and data by which MBIE selected the specific
communities/areas that were announced as receiving funding for UFB
expansion.
 
Specifically I request:
1) At what level of geographic grouping was UFB2 funding eligibility
evaluated? (e.g. street, community, census block, custom geographic
region, etc)
2) For each geographic group that was evaluated, what criteria was used to
determine if UFB2 funding would or would not be provided for that area?
 
3) All advice and documents describing geographic areas or groups of areas
within the Waikato region that were considered for UFB2 funding at any
point in the process.
4) All advice and documents describing the data and resulting evaluation
that was used to arrive at fund/no-fund decision for each area within the
Waikato region that was considered for UFB2 funding at any point in the
process.
 
5) All communication between MBIE and the Waikato District or Regional
councils relating to the UFB2 process, including details of any specific
areas discussed.
 
I am a New Zealand citizen, living in New Zealand.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Matt Brown
