Lessons can be learnt from Canada’s emphasis on infrastructure delivery - Infrastructure NZ

Canada delivers a new hospital or healthcare facility every six months.

Infrastructure New Zealand Chief Executive Nick Leggett says “That’s not a dream; that’s consistent delivery over a couple of decades and a lesson New Zealand needs to learn.”

“Canada isn’t perfect when it comes to delivering infrastructure, but unlike New Zealand they’ve stopped chasing perfection,” says Leggett. “Instead, they prioritise consistent delivery, ongoing improvements and progress, and the benefits of infrastructure across the lifetime of the asset. It’s a mindset shift New Zealand must embrace.”
