Tā mātou mahi

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.

National Infrastructure Plan
Te Rārangi mahi

The National Infrastructure Pipeline provides insights into planned infrastructure projects across New Zealand, giving industry information to help coordinate and plan.

The Pipeline
Te hītori

We're here to transform infrastructure for all New Zealanders. By doing so our goal is to lift the economic performance of Aotearoa and improve the wellbeing of all New Zealanders.
