2. Aotea Station

The City Rail Link (CRL) project (the Project) comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4km twin-tunnel underground passenger railway up to 42m below Auckland’s city centre. It will transform the downtown Britomart Station into a two-way through-station that better connects Auckland’s rail network, allowing it to double in capacity. Two new stations will be constructed (Aotea and Karangahape) and Mount Eden Station will be redeveloped.

Each stage of the construction works for the Aotea Station (referred to collectively as the ‘Aotea Construction Works1’) are authorised and provided for by CRL Designation 2500-1 in the Auckland Unitary Plan Operative in Part (AUP), for which City Rail Link Limited (CRLL) is the requiring authority. Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plans (SIBDDWPs) have been prepared to identify the measures that will be implemented to mitigate and manage potential adverse effects on businesses, residents and community services/facilities during the Aotea Construction Works. In accordance with CRL designation Condition 61.1, the objective of the SIBDDWP is: “to avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects arising from disruption to businesses, residents and community services/facilities so far as reasonably practicable.” In order to comply with designation conditions, SIBDDWPs have been prepared. The 2019/2020 Aotea SIBD Annual Report (Annual Report) provides an overview of the changes that have occurred to the SIBD environment since the commencement of the Aotea Construction Works and analyses matters raised by the community and how these have been responded to.
