39720 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: What New Zealand Transport Agency funding assistance rate applies to emergency works, being repairs to local roads damaged by storms, floods and other events, broken down by approved organisation and by each year of the 2027-30 National Land Transport Programme, and what changes, if any, have been made to that rate since the 2024-27 period?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is retaining the current emergency works FAR policy for 2027–30.
