IPP applications are paused
The IPP will be paused to focus on a new assurance process announced by Government. The new process will combine the best parts of the current infrastructure investment assurance system, including the IPP.
We will be working through the details of this new system and will provide more information over the coming months.
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.
The IPP is an independent and standardised process to identify proposals and projects that will meet New Zealand’s strategic objectives, represent good value for money and can be delivered. The IPP is administered by Te Waihanga. As an autonomous Crown entity, we are tasked with identifying infrastructure priorities and developing a broad public agreement on an approach to infrastructure. The IPP will enable an independent approach to identifying and building consensus around the top infrastructure priorities.
The IPP is a part of the development of the Commission’s National Infrastructure Plan. Proposals and projects assessed as meeting the criteria under the IPP will be published and included within the National Infrastructure Plan, sending a strong signal to decision-makers and the public that these are infrastructure priorities.
