We had the opportunity to sit down with Greg Fleming MP and Simeon Brown and discuss the status of the East West Link.

The project remains a priority for the Government and likely to be approved via a fast track RMA in due course. Unfortunately it’s back with the consultants to work their magic which may take up to two years due to a successful legal challenge to the previously issued consent.

Budgeting constraints may also impact and congestion charges and or tolling could also feature in a final solution. PBA will look to consult with our community on this sooner rather than later.

Good things always take time.
