Our feedback on the Draft Auckland Long term plan.

Infrastracture

Investment in New Zealand’s roads lags behind other countries. We believe a long-term politically-neutral plan is a critical next step.

Employment

The industry has material worker shortages. The government and industry have a role to play to ensure we’re as attractive to workers as possible.

Environment

We support a low-emissions, climate-resilient future and advocate for a realistic transition

Supply Chain

There’s an opportunity and need to re-imagine New Zealand’s supply chain and use evidence such as data to make the right decisions.
