National Infrastructure Advisory Board

Consisting of members from the private sector and outside central government, the National Infrastructure Advisory Board was established to advise the National Infrastructure Unit and the Minister of Finance.

The Board provides both the Minister and the Unit with advice and perspectives on infrastructure project appraisal, capital asset management issues and the development of the New Zealand Infrastructure Plan. A key role for the Board is to engage with the private sector, local government and other stakeholders.

Previous Board members include Lindsay Crossen (2009-2016), Matthew Birch (2013-2016), Dr Terence Heiler (2009-2015), Dr Rod Carr (2009-2014), Alex Sundakov (2009-2013), Dr Arthur Grimes (2009-2011), Sir Ron Carter (2009-2010), Rob McLeod (2009-2010), and Lawrence Yule (2015-2017).
