LUC60321183 (land use consent) DIS60321184 (discharge permit)
Applicant:
City Rail Link Limited
Site address:
51 Saleyards Road Otahuhu Bus Interchange (NZGZ 2018) Railway Corridor (multiple)
Legal description:
Lot 4 DP 158200 Section 1 Survey Office Plan 516423 Railway Corridor (no details available)
Proposal: The purpose of this project is to support the creation of a 3rd Railway Main Line as part of a network upgrade to allow passengers to travel from west to south without having to change services at Newmarket. This will reduce the number of trains needing to travel through the CRL tunnels and assist in achieving the targeted performance timetable upon the opening of the CRL. It will also reduce travel times for people who use the route. . The Project works which are the subject of this consent can be summarised as involving: -
Earthworks and drainage for the purpose of constructing: •
A new 3rd Main approximately 1.3km in length running from just south of the Kaka Street overbridge to just south of the disused Westfield platform;
•
Four new crossovers (extra track which allows a train to transition between two parallel tracks);
•
Associated drainage and bridge structure upgrades;
•
Associated overhead line equipment (OHLE) and signalling relocation and upgrades;
•
A new staff accommodation building (and associated service connections); and
•
A new escape stair overbridge linking the existing 3rd platform with an existing island platform.
