We research important infrastructure issues, advise on policy, provide expert project support, and share data on both upcoming projects and infrastructure performance.

Our work
Mahere Tūāhanga ā-Motu

We're working on a National Infrastructure Plan that will help guide decision-making by both central and local government and give the infrastructure industry more confidence to invest in the people, technology and equipment they need to build more efficiently.

New Zealand faces some big challenges. We can’t afford to build the infrastructure we need to solve them all. The Infrastructure Priorities Programme (IPP) is a way for us to identify the top infrastructure issues and solutions - so we can be sure we’re making the right decisions.​

Moving to tactics and projects

The National Infrastructure Plan is the second strategy report required under the Commission’s legislation. It builds on the first of those reports, the New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy, and other work since the Commission’s establishment.

  • The National Infrastructure Plan builds on the 2022 New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy, shifting from a broad vision to a focused plan for future infrastructure investment.
  • New or improved tools, like the National Infrastructure Pipeline and Infrastructure Priorities Programme, have strengthened our ability to understand, prioritise and assure infrastructure investment, providing better visibility, independent assurance and a stronger evidence base.
  • Community expectations and sector insights have shaped the Plan, ensuring it reflects the needs and priorities of New Zealanders.

New Zealand’s infrastructure faces a historic period of deep and intergenerational change. Historic, because many of the challenges we face are new and uncertain; deep, because it impacts all parts of our society; and intergenerational, because the effort must be sustained, not over months and years, but over decades.
