18101 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: What is the projected cost to the Crown of the public-private partnership for the Te Hana to Warkworth motorway, and what fuel excise revenue assumptions, if any, underpin that cost estimate?

Hon Chris Bishop: It would not be in the public interest to disclose the estimated cost of the Warkworth to Te Hana Public Private Partnership as it is commercially sensitive due to ongoing procurement and negotiation processes. In regard to revenue assumptions, I refer the Member to my reply to Written Question 18098 (2026).
