Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Large-scale Capital Projects: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Ken Cleary:

We anticipate issuing the public consultation element of it in June. We are envisaging four weeks for that public consultation period. That is necessary to bring a report to Government in July. The public consultation is one strand of the four elements of how we will be getting a report to Government in July. However, within that four-week period we aim to do a couple of public events to try to proactively gather information from it. We will be using existing vehicles planned for that time period such as the national economic dialogue and so on.

We have a mission from Government to report to it by July on the most critical barriers to infrastructure. We think we have to consult. One of the strands will be direct consultation with the stakeholders we identify in that period, particularly representative organisations. The public consultation will not be the only element of what we are doing. It is an important element but is bound by what the Government has asked us to do in terms of reporting back by July.
