Extensive stakeholder engagement will be undertaken as part of the project to identify readiness, barriers and opportunities for the emerging digital economy to improve delivery of:
- Health and education outcomes
- Growth in local economies
- Business efficiencies and opportunities
- Government services and programs, including local government services.
The project is due to commence in March 2012 and will be completed prior to 30 June 2012.
