Wellington
Registration is only available for current members.
Join us on Friday 23 May for our annual 2025 Post-Budget Analysis Breakfast Wellington event as we analyse what the Growth Budget means for the infrastructure sector.
In turbulent economic times, the 2025 Budget looks to lift Aotearoa's economic growth through a range of measures. Funding will be limited to high priority Government policy commitments. It includes a pledge to develop a sustainable pipeline of long-term infrastructure investments. Those investments will be aimed at supporting productivity and essential services. The Government is looking at innovative ways to increase investment in infrastructure, including value capture tools and partnering with the private sector.
We will be holding two events, plus an event recording will be available;
Wellington: Friday 23 May, 7:30am - 9:30am.
Auckland: Tuesday 27 May, 7:30am - 9:30am.
Join us to break the spending and promises down.
