2263 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister for Rail: Further to 80602, what, if any, are the current timeframes for development of sites at Bunnythorpe through Te Utanganui?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: This is a commercial proposition, and development will occur as parties reach commercial agreement. The Government secured its future by funding KiwiRail with $40 Million to purchase the initial landholdings, and KiwiRail has secured the designation for long-term development.
