540 (2024). Hon Julie Anne Genter to the Minister of Transport: How many roads, if any, have had to be closed over the course of this summer due to deterioration from heat?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) does not record whether a road closure was the result of 'deterioration from heat'. Providing this information would be a significant undertaking and would require officials to review records from all road closures to determine if heat was a factor.
