Tauranga Mayor Mahé Drysdale requests government support for Cameron Road Stage 2 project due to NZTA's disapproval of the business case.

Tauranga Mayor Mahé Drysdale requests government support for the Cameron Road Stage 2 project, crucial for housing development along Te Papa Peninsula & Western Corridor. The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) did not approve the project's business case due to misalignment with the new Government Policy Statement on Transport. If not supported, the council may cancel, delay, or redirect funds from other projects. A revised business case will be submitted to NZTA in early 2025, aiming for the agreed financial contribution rate and retaining the $68m Infrastructure Acceleration Fund grant.
