Have your say on Auckland Light Rail

Auckland Light Rail are three-quarters of the way through their ambitious community engagement programme and have been impressed by the willingness of Aucklanders to get behind this project.

“We started with a goal of 20 community events and stakeholder workshops and we had scheduled over 30,” says Tommy Parker, the Project Director.

“Sadly, the events scheduled for the next seven days will not go ahead and we want to really encourage people to have their feedback by participating online during this lockdown.” While the programme focusses on gaining as much engagement as possible along the corridor communities, all Aucklanders are encouraged to participate.

“It’s important people take this opportunity to participate in engagement and be heard in this process,” says Parker. “During lockdown, our project team are happy to chat on the phone or reply to email queries."

Million-dollar-plus apartments near New Plymouth’s city centre have attracted “five or six serious parties” in their first week on the market – even though work to build them will not start until later this year.

DBB Oasis Ltd is behind the plans for a block of six apartments on the corner of Dawson and Vivian streets, and hopes to have it completed by the middle of 2023.

Dawson Apartments will include a basement garage for 10 vehicles, two three-bedroom apartments at street level, two three-bedroom apartments above, and two penthouses, one with three bedrooms and one with two bedrooms.
