New Zealand's infrastructure sector is evolving rapidly. New frameworks are emerging to attract private investment and encourage market-led initiatives. Streamlined consenting, public private partnerships and regional deals will reshape how many projects move forward.
Infrastructure is at the top of the political agenda, as the Government reacts to the significant "infrastructure deficit" that has emerged over a period of many years. This issue is not unique to New Zealand – it reflects a global trend, with countries worldwide grappling with similar investment shortfalls, whilst at the same time tackling cost of living issues alongside economic and geopolitical uncertainties.
In Infrastructure investment in New Zealand - what's on the horizon?, we examine key factors and trends shaping infrastructure investment in New Zealand today, including:
- a market update on private capital fundraising and investment trends;
- new guidelines for market-led proposals;
- proposed reforms to New Zealand's overseas investment regime;
- the Fast-track Approvals Act;
- anticipated changes to the Public Works Act;
- an updated public-private partnerships framework; and
- a review of the city and regional deals framework.
