Answer

From checking the meeting records, the agenda did not include the Melling Interchange project. Noting, NZTA's Q2 Performance Report was an agenda item. The report includes an update on all NZTA capital projects, which includes the Melling Interchange project. There are no records to show whether the Melling Interchange was specifically discussed.
