Nick Leggett: Infrastructure NZ Chief Executive on the Government giving the green light to a 30-year infrastructure plan

An aim to squeeze more out of every dollar on infrastructure spending.  The Government's agreeing to all recommendations and acting on all priorities in the Infrastructure Commission's National Plan.  The 30-year document includes reviewing the Land Transport Fund and requiring Crown entities to publish long-term investment plans.  Infrastructure NZ Chief Executive Nick Leggett told that it’s really important to attach proper funding to the plan, so that when a project is announced, there’s actually money to build it.  He says there are a lot of phantom projects that have come and gone over the years, but they were able to be picked off politically because the money to deliver them was never properly put forward.  LSTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
