Any diagrams, design drawings, or engineering schematics that show how the "rail max reuse" option will be implemented at Wellington, including the proposed new linkspan, wharf extension, and integration with existing yards and terminal areas.

Any descriptions, presentations, or planning documents that outline how existing Wellington facilities will be reused or modified under the rail-max reuse approach.

Briefing notes, reports, or summaries provided to Ministers or senior officials since 1 January 2024 that specifically discuss Wellington infrastructure works under the rail max reuse option.
