Answer

Unitary Charge payments will be paid over the 25-year operational period, payable by the NLTF alongside the client-side retained costs and risks. NZTA forecasts that the average Unitary Charges over the operational period will represent around 3.5% of NLTF revenue on average over the first decade.
