Environmental Impact Reports Notified—Environmental Impact Reports: Northland Forestry Port—Marsden Point and Supplementary Appendices—Oakleigh to Marsden Point Proposed Rail Line

Northland Forestry Port — Marsden Point

In February 1980, the Northland Harbour Board released the Northland Forestry Port Study and called for submissions which have been published. The study recommended that Marsden Point be developed as an export port. The Northland Harbour Board has prepared an Environmental Impact Report with a Supplementary Appendix specifically on the Marsden Point Forestry Port.

This Report with the Appendix and the Northland Forestry Port Study should be read together. They will form the basis for the Commission’s audit.

Oakleigh to Marsden Point Proposed Rail Line

It was recommended in the Northland Forestry Port Study that a rail line be constructed linking the proposed port at Marsden Point with the North Auckland line at Oakleigh. This proposal is the subject of a separate Environmental Impact Report prepared by KRTA Ltd. for New Zealand Railways.
