You can use this site to read the latest news from the project team and to gain more information about the project and how it affects you.

Tell us what you would like at a new Melling railway station?
Imagine, at the end of your daily commute, taking a short stroll from a modern new Melling railway station over Te Awa Kairangi / Hutt River and into a vibrant CBD.
If the Melling railway station is moved, the platform and station infrastructure would be completely rebuilt to better reflect modern expectations.
A new Melling station would link to the city centre via a pedestrian/cycle bridge and function more like a metro station than it currently does. Moving the station could also result in more station parking - around 400 car parks compared to the 150 currently available.
We want to understand what people who currently use the train would change to improve their travel experience. This is your chance to tell us what you’d like to see in a new railway station.

A serious flood would pose a risk to lives, livelihoods and more than $1billion in assets in Lower Hutt. .jpg?1476752075)
This RiverLink project provides an exciting opportunity to better connect central Lower Hutt with the Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River, contributing to a more vibrant city centre. 
The NZ Transport Agency is looking at ways to reduce congestion and improve access and safety on State Highway 2 at the Melling and Block Road intersections, and considering how this links to the flood management and urban design development being investigated by the Greater Wellington Regional Council and Hutt City Council.
