Public consultation on the form and functions of a new independent infrastructure body in October 2018 resulted in nearly 130 submissions from a wide range of organisations as well as individuals. This number included approximately 40 submitted via survey.
A common theme was the importance of the body to be independent from Ministers while still having a close relationship with the Government to foster an effective, influential working relationship with decision-makers. Submitters believed this would allow the infrastructure body to influence decision-makers while also maintaining credibility with the market and other stakeholders because of its independence.
The majority of submitters believed that the body should be governed by a board and executive team, appointed independently from the political cycle. Having the right expertise and mix of people on the board, and among those employed by the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission, was also seen to be critical to the new independent infrastructure body.
Broadly, submissions expressed strong support for the infrastructure body’s proposed functions outlined in the consultation document.
