Tauranga's $164m Cameron Rd project denied NZTA funding due to transport policy misalignment.
Tauranga's Cameron Rd project, worth $164 million, has been denied funding by NZTA for their National Land Transport Programme due to misalignment with the new Government Policy Statement on Transport. The project is crucial for the city's growth and housing supply, and without government support, Mayor Mahé Drysdale warns of potential cancellation, delay, or redirection of funds. The council plans to create a more aligned business case for the project in 2025.
