Why it matters
The government backing aims to strengthen one of New Zealand’s most important economic corridors. Infrastructure projects, such as the Waikato Expressway extension, are intended to make journeys faster and more reliable. The Waihi North project alone is expected to generate $5.2 billion in additional exports.
