Listen "The Infrastructure Priorities Programme in action"
Episode Synopsis
The estate managed by the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) spans the length of New Zealand. It covers 80,000 hectares of land, has over 7,000 buildings and includes every type of infrastructure across its camps and bases except for railway lines - and it used to have those.
With responsibility of such a range of infrastructure it’s no surprise that NZDF made multiple submissions for the first round of the IPP, six of which were endorsed. Throughout application process, NZDF saw the value in getting feedback on infrastructure projects to improve their process for selecting what to build and where and showing decision-makers that a proposal as part of the IPP is a priority for New Zealand.
In the episode of Infrastructure for a better future, Nadine Dodge, Director – Infrastructure Priorities and Evaluation at Te Waihanga, speaks to Phil Gurnsey. General Manager, Estate Strategy at NZDF about their experiences with the IPP.
