Campbell Barry: Lower Hutt Mayor says infrastructure investment is a great result for the city - Early Edition on Newstalk ZB

The Government is splashing the cash on infrastructure in an attempt to get 11,000 new homes built across the country.

It's dipping into its billion dollar infrastructure acceleration fund with $192 million going to critical works like pipes, roads and waste water connections.

Lower Hutt is getting the lion's share, with $98 million going to its River Link and Valley Floor projects

Lower Hutt Mayor, Campbell Barry told Kate Hawkesby the investment is a great result for the city.

He says the financial boost allows his council to plan without the pressures of raising the money in a local government setting.
