Chris Bishop: Transport Minister on the state of the Government's Roads of National Significance project
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
A promise the Government's working as quickly as possible on roading projects - but an admission some will take a long time.
The Transport Minister says he's trying to make expectations clear.
Officials estimate petrol tax and road user charges would need to be hiked 70 percent - to deliver all the $56 billion Roads of National Significance - within two decades.
Chris Bishop says the Government is committed, but these are very big projects.
"So I'm just saying, it's about a long-term pipeline over many, many years."
