Kia ora and welcome.

The New Zealand Infrastructure Commission was pleased to present the 2025 Looking Ahead Infrastructure Symposium: Building Common Ground.

Making sure we have infrastructure that supports a thriving New Zealand means getting clear on how we’re tracking and where our greatest needs are. And it means building some common ground when it comes to the future.

This full-day event shared the latest update on our work to do just that in developing a National Infrastructure Plan, as well as insights and perspectives on New Zealand’s most critical infrastructure issues. Speakers included both international and local experts.
