Ministry of Transport

13 December 2024

The Government has agreed key policy changes to enable tolling of roading infrastructure to bring forward critical investment in New Zealand's transport network.

The changes include:

  • Enabling tolling of an entire corridor, including existing roads that gain capacity or are extended by new projects
  • Automatically increasing toll prices by inflation, ensuring users contribute fairly over the lifetime of the road
  • Requiring a free viable alternative, while enabling tolling schemes to require heavy vehicles to use toll roads where the toll road is designed to divert traffic away from built-up or suburban areas
  • Making it more efficient to set up and collect toll revenues
