Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency revealed that 336 landowners along the highway's potential route, dubbed an emerging preferred corridor, had been sent letters by the agency, detailing how their property was inside the corridor. The number was released to the Northern Advocate after an Official Information Act request.
