NAR Phase 2 Report – Moving Forward
I just recieved this document today under some of my ongoing Official Information Act (OIA) requests following the recent failure of the National Address Register (NAR) tender process. This is the first of a few I have requested – there will hopefully be more to come.
It was interesting watching the request being passed from agency to agency (although it was understandable). I submitted the request to Police as they were leading this stage of the NAR. The request was passed then to the State Services Commission, and finally on to LINZ, who released the document quite quickly.
Of interest in this document will be comparing government’s estimate of the cost of implementing the NAR over a five year period – versus the submitted tenders. I, of course, am trying to find out the price range of the tenders for comparison.
It is still really disappointing that this project has failed, it had so much potential to deliver a fantastic authoritative dataset to New Zealanders.
