33704 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Rail: Have main infrastructure works commenced at Wellington as scheduled in July 2026, and if not, what is the revised commencement date?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: No, as main works contracts will be entered later this year as announced on 17 July 2026. There are ongoing works under existing contracts so Ferry Holdings delivers on time.
