Kia ora neighbours,

Two out of three new train stations slated for the Franklin area have been granted planning consent - Drury Central and Paerata stations. The third station in the works is in Drury West, and is yet to get consent.

The three stations were approved under Covid-19 recovery legislation allowing work to be fast-tracked, including electrification of the train line between Papakura and Pukekohe.

All the stations will be on the existing rail line, with Drury Central to be located south of Waihoehoe Rd, between Flanagan and Great South roads; the Drury West station about 450m south of the existing intersection of SH22/Karaka Rd and Jesmond Rd; and the Paerata station adjacent to the planned eastern extent of the Paerata Rise development.

The stations will include bicycle and walking connections, bicycle parking, bus interchanges, accessways and park and ride car parks, and should be completed by 2025.

KiwiRail Acting Chief Executive David Gordon said as well as the three stations and electrification project, there will be general upgrades across the network, plus a third main track built to relieve congestion on the busiest section of the network between Wiri and Westfield.

“Ultimately, Auckland will have a better, more efficient and resilient network because of the projects we’re undertaking.”

Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

Todd Niall Reporter from Community News

Kia ora Neighbours, A contested decision by politicians on the Upper Harbour Local Board to mow down 8,000 native plants and young trees, could bring a hefty bill. Council staff reject that there was a mistake in the planting, and now there could be a big bill. What do you think ?
