Melling transport review complete

In August we told you we were taking a fresh look at the Melling transport improvements project - the NZ Transport Agency's component of the RiverLink partnership. This was to ensure the Melling transport improvements project met the new priorties set out in the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport (GPS).

The re-evaluation is now complete and it has confirmed the project meets those strategic priorities. Our next step will be to complete the detailed business case (DBC) for the project, before seeking funding for further design and consent.

A preferred interchange option has also been selected from the shortlist shared with the community in 2018. The preferred interchange option is a Diamond Interchange Connecting with Queens Drive.
