Monitoring progress against New Zealand’s first Infrastructure Strategy
This monitoring report looks at progress against New Zealand’s first Infrastructure Strategy. The New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy, Rautaki Hanganga o Aotearoa, was published in May 2022 and sets a pathway to transform New Zealand’s infrastructure over the next 30 years.
The aim of this work is to track progress against the Strategy, as well as to identify areas where more effort is needed.
Key highlights of where progress is being made:
- A focus on critical infrastructure resilience
- Designing for climate change
- Improvements in long-term infrastructure planning, such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline, Infrastructure Priorities Programme and development of the National Infrastructure Plan
- Consenting of renewable electricity generation and off-shore wind regulatory framework
- The revision of NZS 3910 to support better contracting practices
- Some good examples of infrastructure delivery, such as the delivery of SH25A
Key areas where more progress is required:
- Infrastructure gaps that are constraining housing supply
- Looking after and investing in the infrastructure assets we already have
- Strengthening project transparency and governance
- Getting better at cost estimation and forecasting
- Ensuring we have a sustainable transport funding system
