Information for Submitters

The draft Digital Strategy is the government's vision for New Zealand to become a world leader at using information and technology. It focuses on how ICT can enable New Zealand's cultural, social, and economic development and provides an integrated framework for initiatives that will encourage "smarter" use and uptake of ICT by communities, businesses and government.

Your input is sought on both the general direction and the specific action plans contained in this document. For example, do you agree with the emphasis on maximising the benefits of ICT to individuals, communities and businesses outside the ICT sector itself?

There is a wide range of actions outlined in this draft Digital Strategy. Prioritisation of key actions will be considered during the consultation and final report stage. Implementation of these actions will be subject to the normal budget process.

We want your feedback on which actions you feel are most important to address the outcomes in each chapter of the report. In addition, tell us if you think there are other actions that are missing that need to be considered alongside the ones we have listed.

Your feedback will be used to finalise the Strategy. The finalised Strategy will be published later this year. The actions outlined in the Strategy will be implemented over the next five years in order to achieve our vision.

There are seven parts to the feedback form to be completed. Each part deals with one chapter taken from the Digital Strategy. These are listed below:

  1. Vision and framework
  2. Content
  3. Confidence
  4. Being connected
  5. Communities
  6. Businesses
  7. The government
