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.

The first of the government’s NZ Upgrade Programme projects in Auckland will go into construction within weeks with the award of a contract to widen the Southern Motorway from Papakura to Drury.
This is a significant milestone for the NZ Upgrade Programme (NZUP) which is investing $6.8 billion in road, public transport, walking and cycling infrastructure to get our cities moving, save lives and boost productivity in growth areas. The programme provides a pipeline of jobs and work for the construction sector, with 700 people already working on projects.
