Major new rail hub for Auckland
Updated at 4:15 pm on 17 September 2009
The latest stage in a bid to make Auckland rival Wellington as a rail city has moved a step closer, with funding confirmed for a rail hub at New Lynn.
Funding of $100 million has been confirmed for the plans to transform the traditional industrial suburb. A new station described by some as a "mini-Britomart" is being built, while the Waitakere City Council is planning retail, residential and roading developments.
