​September 2017 sees New Zealanders going to the polls, with the major parties supporting continued investment in infrastructure. A resilient and growing economy allows the New Zealand government to fund projects that are required to support future growth and address existing infrastructure gaps. Whatever form of infrastructure, whether social housing, transport, health, or education, money needs to be, and will be, spent. And importantly, innovative procurement options that deliver value for money will be considered for the delivery of that infrastructure.
