Land Transport

The land transport sector in New Zealand is undergoing rapid change as a growing population increases the demand for new services and investment.

The introduction of the Land Transport Management Act was the first step towards realising the government's transport strategy aspirations. The Act enables private investment in transport projects through public-private partnerships, a development that has implications for other industry sectors in New Zealand.

Bell Gully has leading legal experience in the transport sector, particularly on road and rail matters. We have advised on all aspects of transport projects, from legislation, strategy and finance to construction, procurement and environmental issues. In particular, individual team members have New Zealand and international experience advising on topical issues including public private partnerships, outsourcing and alliance contracting.

The firm has also taken a leadership role in this area, sponsoring initiatives to bring politicians and business together to discuss regional transport issues and the impending reforms.
