35064 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: Did WorkSafe produce any internal cost estimates, project briefs, or resourcing memos relating to the road cone hotline prior to or during development, and if so, what was the estimated cost to deliver it?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that WorkSafe New Zealand developed estimates for two six-month contract resources and a cost estimate to provide temporary traffic management training for internal staff as part of the establishment phase of the road cone hotline pilot. WorkSafe has allocated a baseline budget of $394,748 for the 12-month pilot.
