31819 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: How much, if any, does the NZ Transport Agency expect to spend on public consultation and community engagement in relation to Takitimu North Link Stage 1 over the remainder of the 2024-27 National Land Transport Programme period?

Hon Chris Bishop: The budget allows $50,000 for public consultation and community engagement with the remainder of the 2024/27 NLTP. However, actual expenditure will depend on project needs throughout the remainder of the NLTP and may be lower than the amounts budgeted.
