Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has published the findings of the report it commissioned into whether the Waiheke Island ferry service between downtown Auckland and Matiatia Ferry Terminal (Waiheke Island) can legally be required to be provided under contract to Auckland Transport under the Land Transport Management Act 2003. The report was commissioned in August 2022 and completed in November 2022.
