Christchurch’s Ōtākaro Limited has recently been repurposed Rau Paenga Limited, in a further step to transform the Crown company into a national infrastructure delivery agency. Lessons learnt during the Christchurch regeneration programme will now help other Crown organisations to deliver their major infrastructure projects more efficiently, effectively and consistently.
Join us for a fireside chat with Infrastructure New Zealand Chief Executive, Nick Leggett, and Rau Paenga Acting Chief Executive, John O’Hagan and the General Manager of Government Relations, Mark O’Regan. We will discuss the future of the infrastructure advisory and delivery environment, Rau Paenga’s new role in the infrastructure system and how they will work with key players to deliver infrastructure outcomes.
Infrastructure New Zealand will also be holding our Annual General Meeting 2023 as part of this event.
We thank Dentons Kensington Swan for sponsoring this event.
