7594 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister for Infrastructure: What is the government's strategy, if any, to ensure that infrastructure projects, such as those in the National Infrastructure Pipeline, move from planning to market-readiness in a timely manner?

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 Treasury is also collecting on a quarterly basis agency data on medium and high risk investments in planning and delivery, which we are using to monitor delays and take action.
