This in-depth research programme set out to improve public understanding of how infrastructure is funded. This relates to Recommendation 56 of the New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy. Through the research we wanted to better understand:

  • how New Zealanders think about fairness in the context of infrastructure services
  • how well the current infrastructure system achieves outcomes that are perceived as fair
  • what could be done differently in the future to meet our infrastructure challenges in a way that New Zealanders can accept as being fair.

Funding and pricing are powerful tools for achieving our infrastructure goals, but they also have implications for how the costs of infrastructure are distributed, and what New Zealanders perceive as fair.

"Every aspect of infrastructure has an impact on fairness, from project selection through to design and planning, to how infrastructure is funded and financed, through to the price paid by consumers and the quality of the services they receive."
