Huntly historic rail station [Completed]
Raahui Pookeka | Huntly Railway Station.
This project includes the relocation of the historic railway station building from Lake Puketerini to its new home at the upgraded station site. Once relocated, we will integrate the building into the platform and station site, enhancing the landscape and ensuring compliance. Additionally, we will design the refurbishment of public toilets within the building.
This relocation presents a unique opportunity to create a multi-use facility that will support the Te Huia service, potentially housing a ticket office and public toilet. It will also serve as the Waikato Coalfields display museum. The project not only revitalises the Huntly central business district but also contributes to the visual enhancement of the area and supports local tourism.
