In the 2021–24 NLTP, we will invest $13.3 million in the Wharekauri (Chatham Islands) land transport system.

Of this amount, $11.4m will be spent on the operation and maintenance of the existing roading network to make it safer, more efficient and reliable to support the local economy. This works includes the strengthening of unsealed roads and road renewals works in Kaingaroa and Te One.

A total of $1.25m will be spent on the replacement of the Whangamoe Bridge with a large culvert. Work is expected to be completed in early 2023.
