The programme will be jointly funded by Hamilton City Council and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. How the funding will be split will be known following the funding application to Waka Kotahi for School Link and Uni Link.
This funding forms part of the 2021-24 National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) announced in September 2021, under which Waka Kotahi guaranteed funding of $163.5 million for transport projects in Hamilton. Under the NLTP, Waka Kotahi co-funds 51% of the cost of approved projects with Council funding the remaining 49%.
