The works are additional commercial assets in the New Ferries project. The ministry says they can run alongside planned construction without delay; the amount is a funding ceiling, not completed expenditure. ## Data ### KiwiRail plans up to NZ$37.5 million of Picton ferry works Methodology: Values are transcribed from the official release.
