Join us for a panel discussion on the key issues, risks that must be mitigated, and what is needed to ensure the region’s prosperity.
The pandemic and recent weather events have highlighted how fragile and sub-standard Northland/Te Tai Tokerau’s critical infrastructure is. Decades of under-investment in core infrastructure are materially impacting the prosperity of the region. For directors and governors in Tai Tokerau this represents a significant challenge and number of complex risks to mitigate.
Join us for a keynote presentation with Dame Jenny Shipley who will address the leadership and governance action required to secure a 2040 plan for Northland's critical infrastructure. This will be followed by a panel discussion from senior directors on the key risks that must be mitigated and what is needed to ensure the region’s prosperity.
June McCabe will provide iwi insight, Mark Trigg will share strategic insight on electricity and communication resilience, Murray Jagger will discuss roading and the transport corridor and Mayor Cocurullo will contribute a local governance lens. The discussion will be followed by a Q & A session.
Lunch will be provided.
