A $315 million rail line through south Auckland will be completed in time for the opening of the City Rail Link in 2024.
Three new stations are set to be added to the southern train network as south Auckland s population continues to grow. With more than 40,000 new houses set to built and 38,000 new jobs expected over the next 30 years, KiwiRail has committed to building two stations in Drury and one in Paerata. 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.
