Subject: Official Information Act request - Kaiwharawhara station closure

 

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

 

Today the Dominion Post website posted an article under the header
'Kaiwharawhara train station overbridge stairs relocated'.

Last year, the Greater Wellington Regional Council decided to close the
station and demolish the 'heavily corroded overbridge'. According to
another article in the Dominion Post structural enineers said the
overbridge is beyond repair.

According to the Dominion Post, Regional Council spokeswoman Philippa
Lagan has now stated the stairways remain structurally sound and would be
relocated.

 

Could I please receive a copy of the report provided by structural
engineers in 2013 stating that dangerous levels of corrosion had been
found and that the bridge was beyond repair?

Could I also please receive a copy of the information used by Philippa
Lagan in March 2014 to conclude the overbridge was structurally sound?

 

If you have any queries related to my requests, please contact me via
email.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Rutger Keijser
