Answer

I am advised that NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) does not formally track processing times in the way the Member has requested. Processing time for prequalification applications is influenced primarily by the completeness and quality of information provided at submission. Comprehensive applications can be assessed as quickly as two working days.
