Answer

The current estimated cost of the remaining sections of the Northland Corridor beyond Warkworth to Te Hana (Te Hana to Port Marsden Highway and Port Marsden Highway to Whangārei) is an investment range of $15.3 billion to $18.3 billion. An application for statutory approvals has been submitted for the Alternative to the Brynderwyn Hills. But no decisions have been made on either the procurement model or timing of procurement for sections of the Corridor beyond Warkworth to Te Hana.
