Regional freight hub - preferred site near Kelvin Grove!!!
Hi everyone, a note to check that everyone is aware that the preferred site for Kiwirail's huge regional freight hub is close to Kelvin Grove - specifically, it is planned to be at the end of the section of Roberts Line that comes off Kelvin Grove road (the part that goes past the second entrance to Linklater reserve), and intersects with Railway road. The planned freight hub is absolutely enormous (100-120 ha) and it may be that the increased noise from it will impact on some Kelvin Grove residents, so please make sure that you have your say at the upcoming public drop in sessions – the first ones are today! 9-1pm at the Plaza and 3-7pm at Bunnythorpe school. See: www.kiwirail.co.nz... for more info. You can also provide feedback on this interactive map which shows the exact location of the hub: kiwirail.mysocialpinpoint.com... Or you can email the Kiwirail team directly: regionalgrowthhub@kiwirail.co.nz
The proposed site has several million dollar houses in its firing line, and will also impact on many others. Our thoughts are that building it so close to Palmy is not a good plan, given all the extra noise and busyness it will bring! We also feel that the Kiwirail’s consultation with the community when deciding upon the location has been shockingly poor – there was NO opportunity before the site was decided upon to give any feedback – in fact, Kiwirail refused to give any details about the four sites they were considering. And affected landowners were given less than 24 hours notice before the announcement of the preferred site, that their land is to be compulsorily acquired – some of these families have lived in their homes for decades, our hearts go out to them.
The community now does have an opportunity to provide feedback, so please have a close look so that you don’t miss out on having a say!!
[This notice also copied to Bunnythorpe and Milson Neighbourly communities, as the rail hub is likely to have impacts on these communities too]
