7597 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister for Infrastructure: With the National Infrastructure Pipeline reporting $204 billion of combined funded and unfunded projects, what steps are being taken to prioritise projects with confirmed funding sources to avoid future delays or budget gaps?

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. Contributing organisations will secure funding for their projects based on their prioritisation and investment processes.
