31386 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Why is the Cross Valley Link shown at feasibility/investment-case stage in the July 2026 Major Transport Projects Pipeline when its investment case was described alongside Petone to Grenada in the Government's 20 October 2025 announcement?

Hon Chris Bishop: The Cross Valley Link project is being progressed by Hutt City Council. It has an important network relationship with the Petone to Grenada (P2G) project but does not form part of the P2G scope.
