The ANZIP, developed by Infrastructure Partnerships Australia is aimed at sustaining the high level of global focus on Australian and New Zealand infrastructure.

“ANZIP is part of a wider process by the Australian and New Zealand governments to increase global investment and domestic competition for infrastructure on both sides of the Tasman,” said IPA CEO Brendan Lyon in a statement.

“Through New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Bill English and Australian Treasurer Scott Morrison, I thank both governments for their strong support for ANZIP, which answers the call for a clearer pipeline of major infrastructure projects.”

Mr. Lyon says the independent resource covers both greenfield and brownfield infrastructure from the early stages of a project or asset transaction, through to when contracts are awarded.

“This gives investors, contractors and others the kind of forward-looking pipeline of projects they need to be ready for major projects,” he said.

“A common procurement market has been warmly adopted by both countries, because it’s a win-win. Australia and New Zealand are not competing with each other in infrastructure, we are competing together to maintain a global focus and investment on our domestic infrastructure.”

Mr. Lyon said that IPA is please to partner with Infrastructure New Zealand and the Australian and New Zealand Governments to turn the ANZIP from an idea into a reality.
