GOVT, COUNCIL BACKING FOR KIWI RAIL FREIGHT LINE THRU ONEHUNGA

Date: 02/07/2023

The Government designated the route and began buying up land in the 1940s....But the projected 10-12-year construction project would cut a trench or tunnel deep through heavily populated Onehunga. 

"State highway 20 cut off residents from the whole Manukau Harbour. And now we've got this proposal for a freight railway to do the same. I think that's another symbolic slap in the face for Onehunga."
