This article is about making decisions on infrastructure. It is about widening the menu of methods used to evaluate infrastructure investment proposals. The article summarises the findings and recommendations of the report Infrastructure Investment: supporting better decisions, produced by the New Zealand Centre for Advanced Engineering (CAENZ) hosted at the University of Canterbury (Boshier et al., 2010). The objective of the infrastructure study is to examine whether existing frameworks fully capture the goals of increasing the productivity of the economy and improving the social and environmental outcomes of infrastructure projects.
