CONFERENCE THEME
Working with what we have: Resilience for the future
Whakamahina ki ngā mea kei a tātou: He manawaroa mō ngā rā anamata
Aotearoa New Zealand’s transport network keeps our people connected and is crucial for economic growth, whether via road, rail, cycleway, or waterway. Keeping the transport network resilient against disruptions as well as fit for purpose for the future underpins a lot of the work in which the transport sector invests, from maintaining or upgrading our state highways and local roads to renewing the rail network, expanding our cycleways and footpaths, and improving bus reliability and capacity.
Today, our transport network continues to experience significant challenges to New Zealand’s social and economic prosperity. In the context of these challenges, the transport sector needs to be prepared to manage risks within an increasingly resource-constrained environment.
How do we leverage the limited resources at our disposal to ensure that our critical transport infrastructure is resilient to these challenges today, and in the future? How do we stabilise our transport system, ensuring that an infrastructure deficit is managed effectively? This theme involves looking deeply at what transport in New Zealand could be doing better today – inviting perspectives from all areas of the sector – to ensure a more resilient tomorrow.
“thank you hardings team, the convenors, committee and everyone involved in organising our transport conference, it’s been awesome!”
