In case you missed it – the Government released their National Infrastructure Plan yesterday
The National Infrastructure Plan will be developed by early 2010 and will be updated every three years.
“The 20-year plan will present a high-level view of the state of New Zealand’s infrastructure and include a stock-take of existing infrastructure and anticipated future requirements. The Plan will help ministers, agencies, local government and the private sector identify needs and prioritise investments to lift growth.
The National Infrastructure Plan will provide stakeholders with greater certainty and confidence about the nature and timing of future government investment. It will mean that stakeholders in the private sector and local government will be better able to identify potential opportunities for their own future infrastructure investment decisions, alone or in partnership with central government.
The National Infrastructure Unit of the Treasury is approaching a number of organisations in order to seek feedback on this document. The closing date for their written submissions is 5 October 2009.”
