The plan, which is largely a continuation of the ATAP 2018-28 programme, was announced by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff and Transport Minister Michael Wood on Friday. At $31 billion this is the largest capital programme ever allocated for Auckland transport infrastructure and services, Goff said. We have a huge backlog from years of underinvestment to make up and this is a step in the right direction.
The plan will be funded by both the Government and the council.
A total of $16.3 billion will come from the Government s National Land Transportation Fund, while a further $4.9 billion has been allocated to Auckland from the New Zealand Upgrade Programme, the COVID Response and Recovery Fund and the Government s share of the City Rail Link.

Residents in west Auckland say they will appeal the Te Whau coastal pathway, which once complete, will link the Manukau and Waitematā Harbours. The causeway will extend from Green Bay to Te Atatu Peninsula on the western edge of the Whau River passing close by the back of their properties. Construction for the Te Whau coastal pathway started in 2015, and upon completion will link the Manukau Harbour to the Waitemata Harbour. The project is being funded by Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, the Whau and Henderson Massey local boards and the trusts. The government announced in July the project will be given a funding boost of $35 million, creating more than 100 jobs post-coronavirus.
