Wellington Railway Station - heritage process (draft v.3).docx
Hi Laura
I’ve incorporated all of your comments.
In respect of the trial nature of the Pilot. I’ve added some lines to reflect that Project Next, the
National Ticketing Solution (NTS), will require similar technology to be deployed. Therefore I’ve
proposed that we include a review and feedback element to the process.
Please take a read and let me know if you are comfortable with it.
Thanks
Pete Wells

Hi Peter
I’ve attached a few comments on the draft- but yes in principal.
I may need some flexibility in response as project work can be interrupted by other regional
events.
Kind regards
Laura

Good day Laura
Following up on the outstanding actions, I was to write out a draft of the process to seek
approval of Heritage NZ in respect of the proposal to install electronic validators at Wellington
Station.
The attached is a draft I’ve put together from your earlier e-mail notes, our meetings and the
phone call. Can you look through and let me know if there are changes you’d recommend.
Many thanks

Wellington Railway Station – Validator Installation
Consent process agreement – Heritage NZ / GWRC
DRAFT
Following on from the earlier meetings regarding the proposed Pilot installation of ticket validator
posts at Wellington Railway Station, I have attempted to capture the process as per your earlier
mails and our discussion of 3rd March.
The Crown, acting through KiwiRail, are the owners of the Wellington Railway Station building.
GWRC are tenants of KiwiRail in the use of the station for rail services.
Heritage New Zealand have a covenant agreement covering the conservation of the Station, with
KiwiRail. Therefore, any agreement in respect of Heritage matters, would be between KiwiRail and
GWRC.
It is noted that at this time the existing conservation plan is approaching 20 years old and in need of
refreshing. This work is currently on hold. It is also noted that there is currently no overall
development plan for the station.
The brief is based on the proposed project being for a trial only and does not extent past this at this
time or apply to other historic or scheduled stations.
A suggested approach is outlined below.
1.
Preliminary Review – Heritage Architect to carry out a preliminary review of heritage
features within the platform / apron area of the station, where the validators are proposed
to be installed. This would consist of reviewing the existing conservation plan and an
inspection of the affected area of the station, in order to identify and inventory existing
heritage features.
This work has been commissioned with Ian Bowman as of 15th March and is due to report
by end of March.
2.
Conservation Plan - Heritage NZ recommends updating of the old existing Conservation
plan by KiwiRail’s Conservation Architect for the affected area of the station (noting the
brief may need to be expanded to include any other developments on the wider agenda
for this area so it is an integrated approach overall]. This should be completed as a draft
before final submission [and incorporated into the proposal].
KiwiRail have now advised that updating of the existing conservation plan is on hold.
3.
Archaeological Review - GWRC to consider requesting a Heritage Archaeologist to review
the proposed works and advise if they could have implications in respect of pre-1900
archaeological site.
GWRC have commissioned, and now received, a report from Mary O’Keefe to assess this
and have now shared this with the meeting participants.
4.
Consent Application – GWRC to compile a building consent application to WCC. Pack to be
compiled by GWRC appointed architect, with support from a Conservation Architect to
provide guidance on conservation and heritage matters. Documentation to include
Heritage Assessment, Temporary Protection Plan, Heritage Based Specification. When
submitted to WCC it is recommended that a copy is also provided to Heritage NZ for their
comment to KiwiRail.
GWRC have now appointed Interact Architects and Ian Bowman to compile the consent
applications. It is anticipated that this would be ready to be submitted in around 2 weeks.
5.
Heritage NZ consent application feedback – On receipt of the consent submission, Heritage
NZ will review it and provide any verbal feedback within one week. Formal feedback
would be made to KiwiRail, and should be within 2 weeks.
6.
Revision [If Required] – If there are issues of concern raised, which affect the covenant ,
then a meeting of the parties (KiwiRail, Heritage NZ, GWRC] would be convened to discuss
the points raised and try to reach agreement.
7.
Revision [If Required] – If there are issues of concern raised, which affect the consent
application, then a meeting of the parties (KiwiRail, Heritage NZ, WCC, GWRC] would be
convened to discuss the points raised and try to reach agreement
8.
Approval – Heritage NZ covenant approval would be provided in a letter form to KiwiRail.
