Approach to delivering the new capital and renewals

1.17 Approach to delivering the new capital and renewals

The DCC plans to maintain internal capacity and reduce external (consultant) capacity to deliver the capital programme

  • Using existing staff to project manage new capital projects and reducing external consultant assistance
  • Continuing to deliver the renewals programme internally including continuing to grow capability of internal delivery i.e. engineers' representative and engineers to the contract
  • Continuing to seek opportunities to package works with other large organisations such as Waka Kotahi and ORC to enjoy economies of scale and minimise community impact.
