Event description

Please note that this webinar will commence at 4:30pm New Zealand time (05:30 AM BST).

During this talk, we will take a look at the recently identified and approved Crown Infrastructure Partners Shovel Ready Projects in New Zealand, explore the merits of the schemes and discuss where the money is going.

These projects and programmes are those that have been deemed to be ready for construction and could play a part of the stimulation package to recharge the economy post COVID-19. They are required to be for the public benefit, or if private, must demonstrate a public benefit or be capable of being repurposed for public use.

Our speakers will present their findings, followed by an open Q&A and debating session. Join us to discuss the issues and challenges with the proposed plans from an infrastructure, staff training and capability perspective.

This webinar will be recorded and viewable at https://www.youtube.com/ciwemviews within 48 hours of the event.
