Event Details

Join Infrastructure New Zealand for Building Strong Foundations: Insights from the 2025 INZ Canada Delegation in Auckland on Tuesday 22 July, from 5:30pm, sponsored by Bell Gully.

Infrastructure New Zealand recently led a delegation of senior infrastructure leaders to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. The study tour focussed on Canada's system-level infrastructure design, public private partnerships, public transport investments, and the devolution of infrastructure delivery to First Nations. 

We invite you to join us for the launch of our reports summarising key insights from the delegation, and for a discussion about how we take key learnings forward in the New Zealand context as we aspire to deliver infrastructure, create system change and grow the economy. 

We are holding three events;

• Christchurch: Tuesday 15 July, 5:30–7:30pm | Hosted by Buddle Findlay.

• Wellington: Wednesday 16 July, 5:30–7:30pm | Hosted by BNZ. 

• Auckland: Tuesday 22 July, 5:30-7:30pm | Hosted by Bell Gully. 

These events are a valuable opportunity to reflect on global best practice and help shape the future of infrastructure in Aotearoa. We hope to see you there.

We would like to thank Bell Gully for sponsoring our Auckland event.
