Building keystones: Exploring foundations for New Zealand’s infrastructure-led recovery
Our investment in infrastructure has the potential to be a key plank in helping stimulate our economic recovery following the COVID-19 crisis.
At this online forum, we explored the key considerations for public and private sector leaders in capitalising on New Zealand’s infrastructure opportunity, together with our expert panel:
- Mark Binns - Chair, Crown Infrastructure Partners and Chair, Infrastructure Industry Reference Group
- Sarah Sinclair - Partner, Minters and Board member, NZ Infrastructure Commission
- John Duncan - Deputy Chair, Kainga Ora
- Peter Reidy - Co-chair of the Construction Sector Accord
The panel discussed a number of important and current themes, including - the linkages between infrastructure, urbanisation and enhanced productivity; infrastructure as an enabler of sustainability; infrastructure funding models, policy and execution; managing risk in infrastructure development and the impacts of societal change.
