Advocacy and engagement update || September 2023
We are into the election home straight now, with just over two weeks left of campaigning. It has been encouraging to see that the topic of infrastructure has featured prominently in election campaigns. All political parties want to build a better Aotearoa New Zealand, and infrastructure is rightly seen as a critical platform for improving our economy, our regions and cities, our communities, and our daily lives.
In the past month or so, surprisingly a tsunami of government consultation has been released. It appears the bottleneck of the policy pipeline has been released at the last minute with significant consultation commencing on a package released by MBIE on energy transition, the long-awaited draft Government Policy Statement on Land Transport (GPS), Parliament’s inquiry into climate adaptation, as well as potential changes to the National Policy Statement on Highly Productive Land to enable infrastructure such as solar farms and infrastructure.

REPORT
Great Decisions are Timely: Benefits from more Efficient Infrastructure Investment Decision-Making
Aotearoa New Zealand suffers from an infrastructure deficit. Without the key infrastructure needed for our economy to thrive, we are depriving future generations of significant economic prosperity. While transformational infrastructure projects need time to be developed into sound technical solutions, many New Zealand projects are being further delayed by policy decision and financing constraints.
