1996 was Transfund New Zealand's first National Roading Programme, after it had been set up that year to be an independent land transport funding agency.
It issued a series of newsletters outlining the major projects funded in each region. This is the one published by the Dunedin regional office covering Otago and Southland.
Key statistics were:
- $45.72m to be spent in Otago. Local road spending was the largest at around 44.5%.
- $22.72m to be spent in Southland. Local road spending was the largest category also at around 44.5%
Significant committed works with ongoing funding included the seal extension on Glenorchy Road in Queenstown-Lakes District and three bridge replacement works on local tourist roads.
New projects highlighted were:
- 5km further seal extension on the "Southern Scenic Route" (Catlins) in the Clutha District.
- Seal extension of the southern section of St Bathans Loop Road in Central Otago.
