Hon MICHAEL WOOD: There was strong community feedback about this particular issue with a large part of the affected community opposing the toll. This is a factor which I have to consider. I've listened and this was a factor that led me to declining the proposal. Another very important factor was the fact that commuters could be forced to pay two tolls, given the Northern Gateway is already tolled between Silverdale and Ōrewa. This is especially important since there is no southbound exit from the road before the Northern Gateway. I want to acknowledge the local List MP, Marja Lubeck, for raising these issues and advocating for her community.
