New assurance process comes into effect

New research by Earth Sciences New Zealand, commissioned by Te Waihanga, explores how flood damage to infrastructure could change under different climate scenarios. It shows that, across the scenarios modelled, flood damage is expected to increase over the coming decades, with the impacts felt unevenly across the country.

The New Zealand Infrastructure Commission, Te Waihanga, has published the results of the third round of the Infrastructure Priorities Programme (IPP).

The Government has released its formal response to the National Infrastructure Plan. This marks a new phase for New Zealand’s infrastructure system.

Our latest research finds that while the cost to build renewable generation is falling, we face challenges with short-term electricity price volatility and with the long-term investment needed to power a larger, low-carbon economy.
