New Zealands infrastructure sector continues to undergo significant change. With traditional models reaching their limits, the country’s first and much needed National Infrastructure Plan offers detailed proposals for a fresh approach.

In The Big Picture: Infrastructure Funding - new tools and opportunities, we take a closer look at how infrastructure has been funded in key sectors and why that has failed to keep pace, explore the new funding models which are on the way and consider the proposals for obtaining greater value for New Zealand’s infrastructure spend.
