About the project

Mill Road was identified as a Road of National Significance (RoNS) in the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport (GPS) 2024 and will be delivered in three stages. When complete, this new 21.5km corridor will extend from Manukau to south of Drury through Alfriston, Takaanini and Papakura.

We acknowledge that Mill Road has a long history and to enable us to provide certainty to the community, we will build upon the work previously undertaken so we can move at pace and deliver the project quickly and cost effectively.

Project staging

The National Land Transport Programme provides funding to give effect to the GPS and the 2024-27 allocation for Mill Road will enable stage 1 of the corridor to progress to construction. In addition, route protection and other approvals will also be sought during this period for stages 2 and 3.
