KiwiRail is progressing plans for a new intermodal freight hub near Palmerston North, to help meet the needs of future freight volumes across the lower North Island.

 

We have now identified a preferred site. This site is partially in the North East Industrial Zone, stretching over rural land north towards Bunnythorpe.

 

This map illustrates an indicative hub footprint.

 

We would like your feedback on the Hub as part of finalising the design and developing mitigations. Feedback from the local community is a crucial part of final design process.

 

You can place pins on the map telling us about where you have concerns or comments. We’re interested in comments relating to:

• Flooding
• Noise / Vibrations
• Cultural
• Road access
• Landscape / Visual

 

Please also fill in our survey, by clicking on the ‘tell us more’ option on the left.

 

Feedback is open until Thursday 30 July.

 

More information can be found on our website: https://www.kiwirail.co.nz/what-we-do/projects/regional-freight-hub/    

 

If you have any questions, please email us at regionalgrowthhub@kiwirail.co.nz or call us on 06 350 9415 and we will endeavour to respond as quickly as we can.
