With strategic investment in infrastructure and a shift in focus to include climate adaptation and managed retreat, I'm hopeful we can help build resilient infrastructure and flourishing communities”.
Tuhi will provide leadership across major projects such as renewal of health infrastructure, benefit realisation for Auckland Light Rail and Let's Get Wellington Moving. He will also be focused on managed retreat for climate-affected communities and potential city shaping initiatives such as relocating sea ports, shifting transport modes, and energy transition.
