Prime Minister John Key has announced $212 million from the Future Investment Fund for a package of 14 regionally-important state highway projects.
Our funding package complements the government’s Roads of National Significance programme, ensuring people and freight reach their destinations quickly and safety.
Regional New Zealand has been vital to our economic recovery, but there are still more regional roading projects we need to get underway. This funding supports these projects.
Our $212 million investment is on top of the $360 million we’ve already proposed for regional roading over the first four years of the next Government Policy Statement on Land Transport. Together, that’s nearly $600 million for roading projects to keep our regions moving in the right direction.
National is working for New Zealand. Our plan will help ensure the benefits of the recovery are spread across the country.
