Praise for the Infrastructure Commission's 30 year plan.   It lays out 16 recommendations for the next three decades, including prioritising hospital investment and better managing assets through maintenance.   Civil Contractors New Zealand says the plan recognises the role that infrastructure plays in people's quality of life.   Chief Executive Allan Pollard told Ryan Bridge it’s a good, open, honest assessment of the challenges faced in New Zealand’s infrastructure programme.   He says it reflects a lot of the things they’ve been advocating for – including the need for a clear, consistent pipeline of work, rebuilding capacity and capability, and a long-term vision.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
