Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: This morning, alongside the Minister for Infrastructure, the Hon Shane Jones, I announced a new package of infrastructure investments that will help create jobs right across New Zealand as part of our recovery and rebuild from COVID-19. The infrastructure fund—part of the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund—will see $2.6 billion invested in more than 150 projects in sectors including housing and urban development, the environment, transport, community, and social development. The investments are expected to help create more than 20,000 jobs. This package will provide Kiwi workers with the confidence that the Government is backing them in this challenging economic environment and will support the construction industry with certainty.
