Megan Woods announces more than half a billion spend on housing infrastructure

Woods made the announcement in Hamilton, the city set to benefit the most from the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund announcement. Of the $539.8 million budgeted for road and water infrastructure improvements, Hamilton would receive $150.6 million of the spend. For Hamilton, its funding would allow for the construction of water infrastructure including a new reservoir and pump station. Across the city, Auckland would also benefit from $7.3 million invested in road-safety improvements near the Ōrākei pā. Before this, Woods said $916.3 million of the $1 billion infrastructure package had been spent.
