Consulting with the community

In August 2008, The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) engaged with the community to receive feedback on the preferred route through Transmission Gully. The consultation period, which officially ended on 20 August 2008, resulted in a total of 2411 responses received with 2137 (88.6%) supporting, 103 (4.3%) didn't mind, and 171 (7.1%) opposing.

Open days/project expo

A series of Open Days and a Project Expo were held in October 2010 to give the public the opportunity to find out more about the Transmission Gully project.

The Open Days and project Expo covered the planning process, noise issues, traffic effects, ecology and water issues and showed what the Transmission Gully route will look like.
