Sandy Rosie, former Director of Financial Partnerships Unit, Government of Scotland |  |
"I was priviledged to be invited to speak at the Building Nations Symposium in Wellington in August 2009, based on my 8 years experience of leading infrastructure policy and delivery,and particularly PPP,within the Scottish Government. During my 2 week study visit I was impressed by NZCID's pivotal role in advancing new partnership techniques which can deliver optimal value for money for the taxpayer. Stephen Selwood is a key champion of innovative best practice in this field, and as public and private sectors in New Zealand move into a new era of infrastructure investment I feel sure that NZCID's support will continue to be crucial." | |
Matthew Cockram, Chief Executive Officer, Cooper and Co New Zealand |  |
| "The quality of New Zealand's infrastructure is key to lifting national productivity, enhancing community services and enabling ongoing sustainable growth. The New Zealand Council for Infrastructure Development undertakes various projects to stimulate debate in infrastructure to provide models for improvements as well as offering opportunities for the development of strong relationships between members of public and private sectors to work towards a sustainable and efficient infrastructure system." | |
Graham Darlow, General Manager - Engineering, The Fletcher Construction Company |  |
| "Since its inception, the NZCID has done a great job highlighting the need for good infrastructure and the importance it has on economic prosperity and providing a quality environment for New Zealanders. It has raised considerable support to effectively lobby government for better infrastructure planning and funding. From this work we have already seen better investment in transport, energy, water and wastewater and other sectors." | |
Alasdair Thompson (CNZM), Chief Executive Employers & Manufacturers Association - board member |  |
"Throughout the 1990's New Zealand let our energy, transport and other infrastructure fall behind the demands being made upon it by our economic expansion. Redressing the scale of the deficit efficiently and effectively requires substantial private sector involvement and is the reason for establishing the New Zealand Council of Infrastructural Development. The Council's importance cannot be overstated as infrastructure is the foundation for business, and our business success will determine our future quality of life." | |
Raymond Ginnever, Special Projects Officer, Infrastructure Directorate, Rodney District Council |  |
"No matter who builds essential infrastructure, someone has to pay for it, be it the ratepayer, tax payer, road user, toll payer etc. And we don't build or plan infrastructure that doesn't provide net benefits to the community it serves. "Stephen, the work of NZCID and yourself in building awareness of the need for infrastructure, and your often timely comments, have been unwavering. Thank you." | |
