The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.

The second phase is the busway building construction. This is being tendered shortly and is expected to be completed by mid-2019. We are also hoping to add another 90 carparks to the park and ride area during the second phase of stage two. At this time, we are currently waiting on an environment court decision which we can expect in two months.
2nd reply 24 July
Unfortunately the time frame for the construction of the station building has changed primarily due to the delay in finalising the station design and in addition to this a delay in acquiring the resource consent for the additional 90 car parks. The expected construction time frame for the station building is from October 2018 to June 2019.
So the actual bus station part either (a) hasn't been designed yet or (B)the council haven't tendered out for the building of it yet depending on which reply you go with, either way nothing will be done till at least October. But as AKL Transport advised a finish date of June next year I wouldn't be hopeful of anything being done till mid 2019.
There is no reason why they cant complete the building of the station while they argue about the resource consent for the extra 90 car parks. By the time they add the car parks they will wish it was an extra 290...not the short sighted 90 they have planned for now.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
