Dunedin's Hillside may be back on track

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Dunedin's former Hillside Engineering workshop may be back on track.

The 7-hectare complex was built in the heart of South Dunedin in 1875, and employed about 1200 people at its peak. Most of its work was for KiwiRail before it closed in 2012 with the loss of 90 jobs.

It was not mentioned in the Government's official statement on rail investment as part of the recent Wellbeing Budget, but was raised by associate Transport Minister Shane Jones, who told media the closure was a "mark of shame" under the previous Government.
