The West Coast Network Outcomes Contract (NOC) is New Zealand’s longest and arguably most challenging – traversing 878 kilometres of highway, from Haast Pass in the south to Mokihinui in the north.

​

The isolated nature of the West Coast means partnerships were key. This NOC consistently showed how Waka Kotahi, Fulton Hogan, WestReef, WestRoads MBD, WSP, the three local authorities – Westland, Buller and Grey District, and the Department of Conservation, as well as the seven subcontractors, partnered to provide support to communities most in need. 

​

From storms, flood damage to the parochial expectations of stakeholders – through to major damage causing destruction to bridges and infrastructure, this contract has it all. The relentless commitment day after day after day to deliver outstanding service on a long-term basis has seen this NOC establish benchmarks in performance that’s underpinned by great teaming and partnerships. 

​

Collaboration, innovation, dedication, improvement of management systems, development of staff through training, enhancing customer/stakeholder information, and contribution to the community, has seen this project excel.

​

The NOC team vision is – “One team making a difference to keep the Coast safely connected.”
