Auckland Rail Programme Business Case
The Auckland Rail Programme Business Case was jointly developed by KiwiRail and Auckland Transport across 2021-23.
It is a holistic assessment of the whole system of rail in Auckland and has developed the Strategic Rail Programme that will provide the reliability, resilience and room for growth that is needed to support the needs of all its users.
It also creates a long-term vision for the rail network in Auckland, encompassing its local, regional and national contexts.
The Auckland Rail Programme Business Case and associated documents are available via the adjacent links. These include the “Rail Story” which is a high-level pre-read, and a summary of its outcomes as presented at the New Zealand Rail Conference in November 2023.
