Ōtaki to north of Levin – tolling consultation

From 9 September to 7 October 2024, NZTA sought public feedback on the proposal to toll Ōtaki to north of Levin.

NZTA thanks everyone who made submissions during the consultation process. Public consultation is a valued part of the process and the insights gained through submissions were considered in the decision-making process.

In December 2024 the Government announced its decision confirming the tolling proposal for the Ōtaki to north of Levin new highway.
