CentrePort is delivering the marine infrastructure needed to support the next generation of Cook Strait rail ferries at Kaiwharawhara. This is a critical part of the Cook Strait Ferry Replacement Programme.
On Tuesday 14th July 2026 some piling will begin. Please note that extra noise likely to arise during the piling.
Residents’ feedback is invited via the project’s website: www.wlgferryinfrastructure.co.nz
The overall project includes:
- Ferry procurement
- Ferry commissioning and operations
- Marine and landside works in both Wellington and Picton and
- National transport system integration (rail and road)
To ensure there’s a coordinated approach, CentrePort is working closely with everyone involved to meet the government’s needs and objectives. At the same time, we need to meet our organisational objectives as a private business and the needs of our shareholders, who represent the Wellington region.
