Nick Leggett: Infrastructure NZ CEO on the focus on infrastructure in the Government's fourth quarter action plan

The Government's released its fourth quarter action plan, which largely focuses on infrastructure.   Its 43 actions include passing the Fast-track Approvals Bill, RMA reform, and looking at more road tolls.   It also includes establishing a National Infrastructure Agency.   Infrastructure New Zealand chief executive Nick Leggett told Heather du Plessis-Allan the Fast-track approvals bill will help speed up infrastructure projects.   He says the National Infrastructure Agency will be a shop front for foreign direct investment, and funding and financing tools to build more housing are also important.  Leggett also says we need to change our mindset on tolling.  He says if people want things, there isn't a magical money fairy to come and deliver them, as we're in a tight fiscal position.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
