The Infrastructure Reference Group (IRG) Programme is comprised of 221 approved infrastructure projects being managed by various Government agencies, with 46 being directly overseen by NIFF. Additionally NIFF monitors the overall programme.
Ministers announced the establishment of the IRG programme in 2020 to provide economic stimulus recovery post COVID-19. To support the Government’s economic objectives and construction employment, an investment programme was identified.
The IRG programme will benefit New Zealanders throughout the country by providing new community facilities such as sports and recreation centres, swimming pools, social housing, increased land supply for housing, improved transport links, social infrastructure (such as The Kind Foundation and City Missions), and increased tertiary education facilities, whilst supporting construction employment.
