4. Feedback from PIPAG

The Planning, Infrastructure and Place Advisory Group (PIPAG) met on 18 August and discussed the draft findings from this process evaluation. The group highlighted several issues:

  • Concern around the current IIP being viewed as meaningless and the importance of addressing this issue for the next Infrastructure Strategy.
  • If separating the strategy and pipeline for next Infrastructure Strategy, how do we focus on delivery as it helps attract private investment. Businesses/investors make investment-based decisions on these documents.
  • It was agreed that finding the right balance of detail in the new 10-year Infrastructure Strategy would also be important.
