People & Culture Senior Advisor

The Otaki to North Levin project focuses on upgrading the transport link along State Highway 1 (SH1) between Otaki and North Levin to improve road safety, reduce congestion, enhance travel efficiency, and support regional economic growth.

In partnership with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, Muaupoko Tribal Authority, local hapu of Ngati Raukawa ki te Tonga, and the Horowhenua District Council, this project will be executed through a two-alliance approach.

Each alliance will be responsible for delivering a section of the road and associated works, ensuring a collaborative and comprehensive delivery.

This exciting new four-lane 24.8km highway project will dramatically improve safety and resilience, providing better access to walking and cycling facilities for those moving around or through the Horowhenua and Kapiti districts.
