CIP supports Government policy in the areas of connectivity infrastructure, infrastructure funds, and infrastructure funding and financing by partnering with the private sector, iwi, NGOs, and local government to implement infrastructure policies and deliver infrastructure projects.
We do this by developing innovative solutions to meet Government policy objectives and utilising a mixture of private sector approaches and government frameworks to procure, contract and manage delivery of Government funded programmes. Read more…

RUAKURA SUPERHUB –
IRG PROGRAMME
The Ruakura Superhub is an intergeneration investment for Waikato-Tainui iwi, through their commercial Tainui Group Holdings, to develop whenua for the benefit of the iwi today and the Mokopuna to come. Government funding of $40m through the Infrastructure Reference Group programme, together with additional funding from PGF and Hamilton City Council saw 16 years of planning come to fruition with the Superhub officially opening in September 2022.
TAURANGA TRANSPORT PLAN –
IFF PROGRAMME
This is the first general ratepayer levy to be applied under the Infrastructure Funding and Financing (IFF) Act and allows Tauranga City Council to raise approximately $175 million towards the construction costs of 13 transport projects across the region.
The transport projects are part of a wider Tauranga City Transport System Plan designed to better connect the region and enable Tauranga City to become a more liveable and carbon-efficient city (for example, advancing projects designed to increase use of public transport and/or cycling lanes).
UFB PROGRAMME COMPLETE
The Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB) roll out was completed in December 2022, bringing high-speed fibre broadband to 412 towns and cities. Uptake is currently at 75 percent of UFB premises passed as of 30 March 2024, and it continues to increase.
The UFB fibre optic network was delivered on-time and under budget to reach 87% of the population.
CIP joined delivery partner Chorus to celebrate the final fibres being installed in the network with an event held at Manea Footprints of Kupe in Opononi.
