New Zealand freight and supply chain issues | Te rautaki ueā me te rautaki whakawhiwhinga o Aotearoa

Closed 3 Jun 2024

Opened 11 Apr 2022

Overview

New Zealand’s freight and supply chain is facing some big changes over the next 30 years with challenges to our resilience, decarbonisation, productivity, and broader wellbeing. We will need to take a strategic approach to prepare our supply chain for the future.

Te Manatū Waka has prepared an issues paper as preliminary work on the New Zealand freight and supply chain strategy. The issues paper presents a view of the big issues facing New Zealand’s freight and supply chain system over the next 30 years. It lays out a strategic approach for responding collectively to these issues and taking advantage of opportunities. The paper reflects on the Ministry’s engagement with a broad range of stakeholders from across the freight and supply chain between August and October 2021. 

 

Why your views matter

We are seeking feedback on whether the issues and opportunities identified in the issues paper are the most important ones for the strategy to address. Public consultation on the issues paper runs until 3 June 2022 and we encourage you to make a submission.

Feedback from the consultation process will help us prepare the draft New Zealand freight and supply chain strategy which we are aiming to complete by the end of 2022. We intend holding another round of public consultation to gain feedback on the draft strategy in 2023. 

What happens next

Once the cosultation ends on 3 June, the Ministry's supply chain team will analyse all the submissions. This work will help determine which areas are the most important ones for the New Zealand freight and supply chain strategy to focus on. 

Copies of submissions will be publicly available on this platform until the strategy is completed (in 2023). A summary of submissions will be available on the Ministry's website at www.transport.govt.nz/supplychain from July 2022.
