Auckland Manukau Ward councillor Efeso Collins says news the supercity is facing a projected $1 billion hit to its revenue over the next three years is hard to take.

South Auckland was already hammered in this year’s Emergency Budget and funding for a number of projects, including the Ōtāhuhu Town Centre upgrade, the Auckland Council Manukau Hub and Transform Manukau were affected.

The council announced on Wednesday that the $450 million hit to revenue from Covid-19 that was projected this year could now snowball to nearly $1b by 2024.

Aucklanders will get the chance to see firsthand the giant tunnel boring machine which will complete construction of the two City Rail Link tunnels.

Auckland’s “Boring Day Out” will be held at the project's Mt Eden construction site on December 6.

People will be able to see up close the machine named Dame Whina Cooper after the Māori rights activist.

They will also view where the machine starts its underground journey next year, from Mount Eden to the new Karangahape underground station, then to the Aotea station in central Auckland.

“This will be a rare opportunity to see the star of New Zealand’s biggest-ever transport infrastructure project before it disappears underground,” said Francois Dudouit, Project Director for the Link Alliance.

Details about where people can get tickets on-line will be announced next week.

Ten visiting sessions will be held, with the first entry at 9 am and the last at 6 pm.

Visitor numbers will be restricted to 500 for each session.

Tickets are free and people can book up to five tickets per person.

People with wheelchairs, mobility scooters, prams/pushchairs and walking sticks are welcome.

Entry to the Mt Eden site will be via Ngahura Street near New North Road.

The walk is 600 metres long and the ground is flat but there are some uneven surfaces.
