Transforming infrastructure for all New Zealanders

We don't currently have a clear understanding of what we’ve spent on infrastructure over a long period of time. A short-term view on infrastructure investment doesn’t give us an accurate picture of how much is being spent and on what. This research sets out to address this knowledge gap by collating 150 years’ worth of infrastructure data and tracking how our networks were built and shaped over time.

New Zealanders should expect better value from the way we build and renew public infrastructure. This research brings together best-practice insights and learnings to aid anyone across government involved with very large, complex infrastructure projects so we can better meet these expectations. Large-scale projects are where the stakes are highest, the risks most pronounced and the potential for transformative outcomes greatest.

In this episode, Jean Beetham, Senior Advisor - Economics and Research and Bas van Laanen, Senior Advisor - Digital and Content, from Te Waihanga, speak to Moana Williams, Manager Strategic Relations and Community, Jenny Wigley, Customer Insights Specialist, and Chris Allen, Manager Strategic Planning, from Watercare about recent community engagement on their Metropolitan Servicing Strategy.
