Hon MICHAEL WOOD: Projects such as Transmission Gully will help New Zealand to bounce back from the impacts of COVID-19 better. Transmission Gully will develop economic benefits, with faster movement of freight and people around the region. It'll build more resilience into our transport links. This is why the Government is investing a record amount into infrastructure all across New Zealand, to reconnect New Zealanders, to reduce emissions, and also to support jobs across our economy. As part of the 2021-24 National Land Transport Programme, and with local government, the Government is investing a record $24.3 billion into transport services and infrastructure—74 percent more than the previous Government.
