Providing better transport options for people in southern Auckland is still top of mind for Waka Kotahi as it pushes ahead with the consenting process for Stage 1B1 of the Papakura to Drury South project, part of the New Zealand Upgrade Programme (NZUP).
An application has been lodged and accepted by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020. The EPA will now carry out due diligence on the plan.
The project is part of a multimodal approach to the longer-term transport network being investigated and delivered to support growth in south Auckland, to enable more travel choices such as future bus services, improved rail access as well as greater safety, resilience and capacity of the highway network.
