Earlier this week the City Rail Link reached a milestone, breaking through the end of its final tunnel.

The tunnel boring machine created space for the new rail system by breaking through fifteen metres of cement per day. 

The machine was Named after Dame Whina Cooper, the Maori Rights activist who led the hikoi to parliament. 

For this week’s segment of City Counselling, I had a chat with Shane Henderson about the City Rail Link milestone as well as the 2022 Mayoral conservation awards.
