The Transport Agency has projects worth $3.9b in the pipeline, and KiwiRail projects worth $2.3b. More than 500 investments in public infrastructure with a total value of $21.1 billion are in the pipeline over the next 10 years, according to a refreshed estimate published the Infrastructure Commission. Government spending on infrastructure has become a sensitive topic. Transport projects make up the largest proportion of the $21.1b of projects tallied so far, counting for about a third of the forecast spending. Infrastructure Minister Shane Jones said the Government's ambition was for "world-class infrastructure in our cities and regions".
