Election risk assessment
Budget 2026 funded design and early enabling works only. Full construction funding not yet committed. Bay of Plenty is NZ's fastest-growing region, making this politically popular but expensive.
Government priority alignment
MEDIUM — Health-delivery priority; design and early enabling works funded in Budget 2026.
