IPFA Australia: Sydney: New Zealand Government Infrastructure Update

---

The NZ infrastructure sector has seen significant issues over recent years with housing affordability pressures, local governments hitting debt ceilings, and a capacity constrained contractor market. These pressures, plus a healthy pipeline of projects looking for capital, are driving significant central government policy development and change. This event will update Australian IPFA members on the latest developments and where the future opportunities lie in NZ.
