  • Facts and Issues: Towards a National Infrastructure Plan
    ISBN: 978-0-478-33080-9 (online) NOT GOVERNMENT POLICY Note to Reader The Minister for Infrastructure indicated in his recent speech to the ‘Building Nations’ Symposium that the National Infrastructure Plan “…will evolve through time. The first draft should be ready early next year. Areas not identified in the plan will not necessarily be excluded from future public investment. It will be updated regularly - and no doubt we will get better at doing it.” This document is a precursor to the Plan. It contains a sector-by-sector description of New Zealand’s existing infrastructure, information about planned investment and a description of current policy settings. We would now like to answer a number of questions: 1. Base information: Is the sectoral analysis contained here an accurate and informative description of the sector? If not, what changes are required to make it so? 2. Missing issues: Are there important infrastructure issues not mentioned in this document? 3. Decision-making: This document suggests that for projects to contribute to community/national welfare and economic growth, they must have expected benefits (measured comprehensively) that are greater than their estimated costs (also measured comprehensively) – see the decision-making principles in the ‘Policy Context’ chapter. As well as considering distributional or equity considerations, are there other considerations that should be taken into account and if so, what is the case for that? 4. Cross-sectoral issues: What cross-sectoral issues are faced by operators/users of infrastructure in each sector? This document identifies a number of cross sectoral issues. Are there other cross-sectoral issues that should be included in a National Infrastructure Plan? 5.
