I know there was a new $30 million pool/ fitness complex built in Hastings; from the shovel ready projects. And $12 million was contributed to HBRC $10 million fund to strengthen the Taradale stop banks that saved billions of $$$ of disaster relief if Taradale/ Napier had of flooded. They are likely part of the $640 million .
Showing you've read to the end of a policy-heavy post, Kai! The independent Remuneration Authority 'sets the annual salaries and superannuation subsidy for Members of Parliament (MPs), the accommodation and travel services, and the annuity and travel provisions for former prime ministers.' Recent legislation has tended to limit the potential size of MPs' salary raises, if anything.

You didn’t mention them being able to approve increases in their own pay? Can Parliament still do that in NZ?
