INFRASTRUCTURE SYMPOSIUM
It’s the $200 bil ion issue everyone’s talking about – fixing our infrastructure deficit. With local government owning and operating over a
quarter of New Zealand’s infrastructure assets, it’s a chal enge al councils are grappling with.
We’re tackling this critical issue head on, with the launch of our very first Infrastructure Symposium. This Combined Sector Meeting is an
opportunity to unpack complexities and work through potential solutions.
How can you deliver asset management with a stronger focus on resilience, explore innovative ways to finance our essential infrastructure,
and connect with central government to ensure they understand the hurdles facing councils everywhere?
Join us on 14 June to find some answers.
