1. Introduction
The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line (NAL) in the vicinity of Mt Eden Station. The CRL also involves the construction of two new underground stations at Aotea and Karangahape and the redevelopment of the station at Mt Eden (refer to Figure 1.1). The design and construction of the CRL infrastructure between the Aotea and Mt Eden Stations is being delivered by the Link Alliance.
This addendum to the Karangahape Station Main Works Communication and Consultation (CCP)1 has been prepared to provide a framework for communications and consultation with stakeholders and the general public during the construction of the station superstructure2 and public realm reinstatement (PRR) phase of the construction works. The same general processes outlined in the Main Works apply to the superstructure and PRR phase of construction. Accordingly, this addendum should be read in conjunction with the Karangahape Station Main Works CCP. Where project details, protocols and frameworks are directly applicable to the PRR works, reference is made to the appropriate section of the Karangahape Station Main Works CCP.

2.1 Overview of works
The construction works include the above ground components of the Karangahape Station (superstructure) and public realm reinstatement (PRR) works.
The construction of the above ground buildings includes above ground station entrances at Beresford Square and Mercury Lane, as well as the services and retail building and ventilation structures at Beresford Square.
The extent of the Karangahape Station public realm works includes Beresford Square, Pitt Street, Mercury Lane, the western end of Cross Street, the southern lane connecting Mercury Lane with East Street, and tie-ins to Karangahape Road as shown in Figure 2.1 below.
Generally, the works will consist of:
• Construction of the station above ground and other buildings at Beresford Square and Mercury Lane (including service building, intake ventilation structure) including structural fitout and MEFH installation
• Construction of new stormwater
• Installation of utilities
• Construction of tree pits
• Installation of new road pavement
• Installation of new footpath pavements
• Landscaping works
Figure 2 1: Plan showing approximate extent of PRR works (red hatched line), above ground station buildings and construction support areas (highlighted blue)
• Installation of street furniture
The Construction Support Areas located at Mercury Lane and Beresford Square (refer Figure 2.1) will service the superstructure and PRR works, with the area of the CSA reducing as the PRR works proceed until operation of the CSAs is no longer required.
The works will be undertaken in a staged manner, commencing as the current construction works are progressively completed (refer Table 2.1). The total duration of works is approximately three years, commencing in March 2022.
