FILM AND NBN

● With $140 million in the federal budget for attracting international film productions to Australia, industry leaders are working to maximise the Gold Coast’s position as a hotspot.

● Do the Gold Coast’s Village Roadshow studios at Oxenford need to be expanded and what else must be done to attract more films here?

● With high-speed internet becoming increasingly important for Gold Coast businesses, what is being done to improve the city’s online capability?

● The rollout of the NBN has experienced problems and delays while the council has pushed ahead with its own high-speed internet system along the light rail. Will the NBN rollout be fasttracked and what are council’s plans for its fibre-optic system?
