Let’s finally get Wellington moving!

Issue date

After a tough few years, Wellington has a golden opportunity to receive billions in Government infrastructure spending to improve our roading network.

New tunnels at Mt Victoria and the Terrace along with Basin Reserve improvements and four-lanes on sections of SH1 have been desperately needed for decades. These chokepoints were never built to handle our current population and clog our city, economy and neighbourhoods.

So what are the benefits to Wellington from NZTA’s proposals?

  • Quicker journeys into and through Wellington
  • More reliable travel times
  • An economic boost to Wellington, making it easier for people to access the city and its businesses
  • Better access to the hospital, airport and universities
  • New options for public transport
  • Improved walking and cycling through Mt Victoria

NZTA’s plan is overwhelming supported by Wellingtonians. A survey of 1,000 people found 67% support new Mt Victoria tunnel with just 16% opposed, and for the Basin Reserve improvements, it’s even more overwhelming with 74% support.

We encourage everyone to submit your support, and having your say is easy:
