Simon Court: Secretary to the Minister for RMA shares that infrastructure will be the new focus in the next quarterly plan

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The Government's moving into its next quarterly plan - with infrastructure the focus. It achieved 39 of its 40 goals in the third quarter - largely targeting law and order.

This quarter's 43 actions include passing the first Resource Management Amendment Bill and introducing the second RMA reform Bill as well as a National Infrastructure Agency.

Under Secretary to the Minister for RMA reform, Simon Court told Ryan Bridge that he doesn't know how much the agency will cost - but it's needed.

Court says it's vital that there's an agency that can coordinate funding from the private sector needed for the public private partnership projects.

He shares that there's a number of parties lining up to make submissions when the agency is open.
