Infrastructure Plan outlines large programme
2 March 2010
The National Infrastructure Plan, issued today, shows the large scale of the Government's infrastructure programme and highlights some future issues that may require action, Infrastructure Minister Bill English says. The first National Infrastructure Plan, put together by Treasury's National Infrastructure Unit, shows the Government is spending over $6 billion a year on physical assets and holds about $110 billion of such assets. The plan, which has a 20-year horizon, is part of a range of work aimed at improving the Government's planning, decision-making and management of infrastructure in order to maximise economic benefits.
