Fixing the leaks, not just buying bigger mops.

That’s the theme of the National Infrastructure Plan released today.

It looks at 17 sectors covering central government, local authorities, and commercially regulated utilities.

The 30-year outline sets out how New Zealand can improve the way it plans, funds, maintains, and delivers infrastructure... and guess what, it turns out we don’t do it very well.

Each year we invest just over $20 billion on infrastructure, yet on a dollar-for-dollar basis we achieve less than many of our international peers.

Today on The Front Page,  New Zealand Infrastructure Commission Chief Executive Geoff Cooper will take us through this mammoth report.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
