31918 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Transport: What is the total value of contracts awarded by officials in relation to the RiverLink project in Lower Hutt, broken down by contract, by contractor and by financial year, since 27 November 2023?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised by NZTA that the current total value of contracts awarded by the Alliance is approximately $117.3 million over 91 executed contracts: 2025 - $55.6 million 2026 - $61.7 million. A complete schedule of packages can be provided upon request to NZTA but would require substantial manual collation, and I do not consider this as being a good use of officials’ time.
