Transmission Gully Top View

Te Waihanga was directed by the New Zealand Government to oversee an interim project review that focused on the Transmission Gully project to date. 

The Review investigated how the Transmission Gully project agreement was awarded for the price agreed, and whether the risks identified then were reasonably allocated and appropriately considered.

The Transmission Gully review was led by an independent international expert reviewer with specialised skills and experience, with support from two local peer reviewers. 

Project reviews are designed to ensure Te Waihanga and stakeholders learn from the successes and challenges of infrastructure projects.
