7583 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister for Infrastructure: What advice, if any, has the Minister received from professionals within the infrastructure sector regarding the government's handling of the National Infrastructure Pipeline and its readiness for market delivery?

Hon Chris Bishop: The National Infrastructure Pipeline provides a central view of infrastructure project activity that is in planning and delivery across New Zealand. Insights from the Pipeline provide the industry with information to help coordinate, prioritise, schedule, and plan their projects and investments. Information in the Pipeline is provided by central government, local government and private sector organisations involved in providing infrastructure services and reflects the current state of their infrastructure planning and investment intentions. The market readiness of each project in the Pipeline is indicated by the contributor through the information they submit to the Pipeline.
