A renewed vision for Auckland's midtown

Queen St is experiencing enormous change and investment. The completion of Aotea Station, part of the CRL, will be the cornerstone of Auckland Council's $133 million programme to revitalise Auckland's midtown. The programme will see multiple projects – including the Victoria Street Linear Park, Aotea Centre’s refurbishment, and upgrades to Hobson, High and Albert streets – brought together.

The CRL is the largest transport infrastructure project ever to be undertaken in New Zealand, transforming access to Auckland's city centre. The project will double rail capacity as well as double the number of Aucklanders within 30 minutes travel of the CBD, carrying an estimated 54,000 peak-time passengers each hour.
