09. Cross-party backing for the National Infrastructure Plan

25 June 2026

This week, we unpack the Government’s response to the Infrastructure Commission’s National Infrastructure Plan.

With 16 recommendations accepted, we look at the key themes shaping the future of infrastructure in New Zealand, including a stronger focus on maintenance, better reporting, more realistic planning around what the country can afford, and a greater role for private capital. We also discuss what it means that the plan has cross-party support, and why that matters for long-term delivery.
