We’re committed to a transparent and collaborative approach to our transport planning, policies and project delivery. We work closely with our partners and engage widely across all our activities with our stakeholders and communities every day to share information and gain valuable insights.
Publicly notified consultations are a key way we gather feedback to help shape and inform our work.
Feedback or submission received in consultations will be deemed public information and may be published afterwards, but we will not publish information that identifies an individual person. As a government agency, we also have to respond to Official Information Act requests.

NZTA is proposing a new bus priority lane on State Highway 1 Silverdale (northbound), north of Auckland, to improve travel times and reliability for bus users. The new lane will serve as a wider emergency stopping lane and operate as a bus priority lane from 3pm–7pm, Monday to Friday. This requires an amendment to the Traffic Controls on State Highways Bylaw 2017-14. Public feedback is invited on the proposed changes.

We’re making amendments to the geotechnical sections of the NZTA Bridge Manual. The aim is to keep the geotechnical standards up to date and provide clarification to the design standards. The amendments are mostly on chapter 6: Site stability, foundations, earthworks and retaining walls. At this stage we are only seeking feedback from the geotechnical community (NZGS).

NZTA has opened new speed reviews on several sections of state highway that are categorised as urban connectors, after community feedback that people would like to keep lower speeds in these locations. Under the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2024 (the Rule), these sections are required to automatically reverse to their previous higher speed limit by 1 July 2025. These new speed reviews are proposing to change back to the lower speeds just after 1 July 2025.
