On average, New Zealanders each spend around $4,500 on infrastructure services a year.
The decisions we make about our roads, pipes, schools, powerlines and much more, all have a big impact on Kiwis.
While we spend a lot on infrastructure, we're not very good at getting value or at looking after the things we've got. Broken water pipes, potholes and poor water quality are just some examples of this.
We think New Zealand has the capacity, ingenuity and skills to meet our challenges. However, we need to make some changes so that Kiwis can have confidence that we'll get the infrastructure we need now and in the future.
