51493 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: How much, if any, did the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, spend on Road Cone tipline to date?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that as at 30 September 2025, WorkSafe New Zealand spent $148,545 excl. GST on costs associated with the road cone hotline pilot. This includes website development, training of WorkSafe inspectors and the cost of two six-month contractors to assist with implementation of the hotline, now reduced to one contract position.
