No decision on Auckland light rail, as Government opts for 'fresh start' on project
The Government has decided a “fresh start” is needed for its long-awaited light rail project in Auckland, pushing back any final decision on what to build to some time around the end of 2021.
Transport Minister Michael Wood announced on Wednesday he wanted to draw a line under the disquiet that surrounded previous ideas for the project and listen to Aucklanders about what sort of light rail system they want.
Key decisions on the project will now be put out to the public, who will have their say on what they would like light rail to look like.
Those decisions include the route the line will take, whether it should be surface-level light rail or a light metro that goes underground, and who will actually own the line.
Wood will create an establishment unit, which will take input from Aucklanders about what they want from the light rail project.
