FOREWORD PROJECT DIRECTOR At City Rail Link, sustainability has always been the cornerstone of our thinking. Our goal is to build New Zealand’s largest transport project while being mindful of the resources we use without creating unnecessary waste and to leave a positive social and cultural legacy for Auckland. Achieving that goal is being made possible by the acceptance and support of sustainability as a ‘business as usual’ function. We have been working closely with our contractors to transform the way infrastructure is delivered in this country and we have continued to challenge them to think not only about cost and programme but resource efficiency, waste avoidance and leaving a skills legacy. We recognise that there is a responsibility that comes with delivering a project of the scale and significance of City Rail Link and we hold ourselves up as an exemplar for the industry. The attitude and commitment of our project team and contractors to making sustainability an integral part of building the CRL is already making a real difference to saving money and resources and contributing to positive social sustainability outcomes, particularly pathways for young people into employment. It is this commitment that has seen CRL achieve a ‘Leading’ Infrastructure Sustainability Design rating from the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) and we remain the only New Zealand project to be awarded that rating. We’re also a world-first in integrating cultural values into the ISCA framework, working with the eight iwi represented on CRL’s Mana Whenua Forum to make it more appropriate for the New Zealand context. We’re proud of our partnership with Mana Whenua and absolutely value their input into many aspects of this project, from built heritage and archaeological matters to the cultural narratives that have influenced the stunning architectural designs of the new CRL stations. We have also received great recognition for our collaboration with Downer NZ & Soletanche Bachy Joint Venture and McConnell Dowell & Downer Joint Venture (Connectus) to monitor and reduce CRL’s carbon footprint on our Britomart and Albert Street contracts, winning the Large Energy User category of the 2018 Deloitte Energy Excellence Awards. By the end of the next financial year, all our remaining contracts will have been let, including our largest contracts for construction of the remaining CRL stations and tunnels and the integration of all the underground rail systems. The challenge for us is to continue building on the work we’ve done and supporting our existing and future contracting partners to deliver the best possible sustainability outcomes for the project and Auckland. We also hope that by sharing the details of our work and achievements through this document, other companies might be inspired to implement their own sustainability initiatives that we can all learn and benefit from.

HE WAKA EKE NOA We are all in this together.

Between 2003 and 2017, Auckland's public transport patronage increased by 63 per cent – more than double the population growth. CRL is a priority project in a $28 billion 10-year transport programme signed off by the Government, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to cater for this projected growth and keep Auckland moving. The region needs a resilient, sustainable and modern public transport system that provides more choices and better access to places people need to be. CRL, the largest transport project ever undertaken in New Zealand, is an integral part of that solution. Growth of the rail system, including increases to train frequency, is constrained by the dead end at the Britomart Transport Centre, which limits the entire network’s capacity. CRL will turn Britomart into a two-way through station that extends the existing rail line through Auckland’s CBD to connect with the Western Line at a redeveloped Mt Eden Station via two new underground stations at Albert Street and Karangahape Road. The CRL enables the Auckland rail network to more than double its capacity to meet growing transport demand.

OVERVIEW

CITY RAIL LINK LIMITED SUSTAINABILITY ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018

The addition of two new modern CRL stations on the network will improve connectivity and journey times for many passengers. From the redeveloped Mt Eden Station, it will take only three minutes to get to the new uptown station at Karangahape Road, six minutes to the new mid-town station near Aotea Square and nine minutes to the redeveloped downtown Britomart Station. However, CRL is about more than improving public transport provision. It is also a catalyst for urban development around the new stations to support the future demands of our growing city. The CRL will be an economic enabler. It will double the number of people within 30 minutes of the city centre, giving more people greater access to a wider range of jobs and giving employers a greater pool of talent to draw from. CRL will drive growth right across the construction industry and will be employing about 1,600 people at its construction peak. The CRL will also help to tackle Auckland’s traffic congestion issues – which cost the economy an estimated $1.3b in lost productivity each year.

By providing a viable and sustainable transport alternative to using private vehicles, CRL will reduce the city’s carbon footprint and help New Zealand to meet its international commitments on climate change. However, building a 3.45km rail link through the city centre is not without its challenges and has the potential to consume significant resources and create substantial waste and carbon emissions. CRL has put a number of measures in place to reduce resource consumption and carbon emissions during the design and construction of CRL contracts 1, 2 and 6 (Britomart, Albert Street and Mt Eden stormwater realignment works, respectively). Sustainability requirements have also been built into the tender documentation for the remaining contracts to ensure CRL continues to set the benchmark for sustainable infrastructure delivery.

CONTRACTS

Micro tunnel boring machine 'Jeffie' arrives on site at Mt Eden.

 Contract 2 (C2) – delivered by construction

partners McConnell Dowell & Downer Joint Venture (Connectus) – involves cut-and-cover trenching and insitu construction of the tunnel box from the Commercial Bay development site (corner of Customs and Albert Streets) to south of the Wyndham Street intersection on Albert Street. The contract also included pipejacking approximately 300m of 2m-diameter pipe to relocate the existing stormwater main under Albert Street and the strengthening of the Orakei Main Sewer that runs beneath the future Aotea Station.

 Contract 6 (C6) – delivered by construction partner March Bessac Joint Venture (MBJV) – involves the installation of a 420m section of stormwater main at Mt Eden to replace the existing line, which lies in the way of the future CRL tunnels.

The contract started in April 2018 with the demolition of two CRL-owned buildings to pave the way for construction of two 17-metre-deep shafts. The shafts will launch and receive the micro tunnel boring machine that will jack the replacement stormwater line from Water Street to Nikau Street.

Mid-2017 brought the start of bulk excavation of the Albert Street trench with some 78,000m3 to be removed. Construction of the first CRL tunnel box section began in February 2018 with the first section of tunnel box roof being successfully poured in June.

SOCIAL OUTCOMES CRL has a Social Outcomes Strategy focused on connecting people to real opportunities through employment, training and social innovation and by engaging with students at school, in training and at tertiary institutes to support our future workforce. Manurewa High School visit Ten students from the Manurewa High School Trades Academy were invited as the first school to tour the CRL project. The students were amazed by the size of the various construction sites and the complexity of the project. Subsequently, five students have signed up for courses in Civil Engineering when they leave school with others considering courses in construction and engineering-related industries.

Manurewa High School Students

Steve Perks, a teacher at Manurewa High School, wrote to CRL to say: “Without the support of Berenize Peita (Social Development Advisor) and others at the project, these students would not have had their eyes opened to the possibilities and experiences available locally. On behalf of the Manurewa High School Trades Academy, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with the City Rail Link Project”.

Student Work Experience Two Year 13 students from Manurewa High School were given a 10-week work placement on CRL's Mt Eden Stormwater Realignment project, to assist them with their career development plans. During their two-day-a-week placement the students were introduced to project management, health and safety, tunnelling, surveying, welding/fabrication, diesel fitting (mechanic) and temporary works design, both at the Contract 6 site and contractor March-Bessac's wider Auckland operations.

South Pacific Indigenous Engineering Students (SPIES) CRL has established relationships with Auckland University’s SPIES network, both directly and via Contracts 1 and 2. DSBJV (Contract 1) organised a visit to CRL's Britomart site. SPIES students were met by DSBJV project engineers and the construction manager, who gave them a tour of the site and provided insight into the project and construction techniques.

SOCIAL OUTCOMES

Te Ara Rangatahi In April, Te Ara Rangatahi, a youth organisation from Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, attended its second CRL youth engagement workshop. Ten rangatahi (young people) and a couple of 'aunties' braved stormy Auckland weather to come into the city centre.

a

They listened to several CRL staff members share their stories about how they came to be working on the CRL project and what their roles entail. For many of the rangatahi it was the first time entering a board room and being able to talk directly to engineers, architects and a chief executive.

He Waka Eke Noa is New Zealand’s first social procurement supplier diversity facilitator. There are now 40 civil and construction businesses on the register, ready for contracting opportunities via CRL. CRL led the way by including supplier diversity clauses in tender documents. Other large transport projects are now following this approach, sending a clear signal to the market that all Aucklanders can benefit from this country’s economic opportunities and prosperity.

DSBJV (Contract 1) has been utilising the CBD Jobs and Skills Hub through a carpentry apprenticeship. An apprentice joined the DSBJV team at Britomart after completing Year 12, having found the Hub through an internet search. He helped construct underpinning beam formwork on CRL for around nine months, where he learned valuable ‘tricks of the trade’. He is continuing his apprenticeship with Downer, working on another project. A highlight for him was the fun team environment and this was enough to make him want to continue.

Ra

CRL wants to encourage supply chain diversity and expects contractors to engage with Māori, Pasifika and socially innovative businesses. He Waka Eke Noa is a newly established organisation that has met with and validated several Māori and Pasifika businesses and will be an important resource for contractors.

The CBD Jobs and Skills Hub was established to support pathways for sustainable employment in Auckland's city centre. The Hub is a not-for-profit collaboration which works directly with employers to provide a no-cost recruitment service and deliver training to upskill people.

ra

Increasing supplier diversity is an important component of sustainable procurement. Over the past three years, The Southern Initiative (TSI) has connected Māori, Pasifika and socially innovative enterprises with local government procurement opportunities. CRL has been working with TSI to improve employment outcomes for Māori and Pacific people, as well as others having trouble entering the labour market.

Sustainability is featured as one of CRL’s five overarching objectives: “Provide a sustainable transport solution that minimises environmental impacts”. – City Rail Link Limited Statement of Intent 2018-2025 One benefit of a large project such as CRL is the positive industry-wide impact it can have on sustainability. The sustainability requirements that CRL has set for its contractors have resulted in a flow-on effect to subcontractors and suppliers. Contract 1 contractor DSBJV, for example, is significantly advancing the sustainability awareness and performance of its suppliers and sub-contractors involved in CRL's Britomart works.

Sustainable Procurement DSBJV’s approach to sustainable procurement includes the commitment to procure goods and services to minimise environmental risk and maximise environmentally sustainable opportunities and benefits for the total lifecycle^. Sub-contracts with a high value, or with a potentially high environmental or social impact, were asked for evidence of their environmental and sustainability policies and implementation. DSBJV then worked with each of them to develop specific sustainability targets relevant to their business and the services they provide to the project. These were included as contract requirements, and compliance is assessed annually. Throughout the process, DSBJV identified that there was a lack of understanding in the New Zealand supply chain around sustainability. It arranged a supplier engagement and sustainability day with its key suppliers/subcontractors to explain in more detail the sustainability requirements and expectations of CRL's Contract 1 and their importance in the bid process. DSBJV also provided some tangible examples of sustainability initiatives and innovations realised on the project as a way of stimulating further innovation amongst the supply chain. The event was attended by 45 existing and prospective suppliers and subcontractors. ^ Downer’s Environmental and Sustainability Policy is publicly available on the Downer website www.downergroup.com/environment

USING RESOURCES: ENERGY, WATER AND MATERIALS

A key objective of the project is to optimise resource use over the lifetime of the CRL through efficient design and construction. To measure how successfully CRL has been in meeting this objective the energy, materials and water footprints were calculated for the early design (the business-as-usual “base case”), and the detailed design was then compared against these footprints to quantify improvements. The target for construction is to at least stay within the projected detailed design footprints, and ideally improve on them. With construction now well underway resource use is being tracked against these targets. The following sections outline progress to date.

ENERGY During detailed design, the team was able to reduce the projected construction and operational energy-use footprints for Contracts 1 and 2 by 29 per cent and 25 per cent respectively. This is a projected saving of nearly 2,500 tCO2e of greenhouse gases (GHGs) during construction and nearly 15,000 tCO2e over the 100-year operational design life. Since then, the focus has been on implementing the construction-phase initiatives, such as replacing diesel generators with electricity sourced from the national grid and collaborating with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) to implement a fuel efficiency programme for the haulage of spoil excavated from CRL's Albert Street trench. Read more about these initiatives on pages 20-21.

Tracking Progress At the date of publication of last year’s report, both contracts were tracking well but were about to enter more energy-intensive activities: the underpinning of Britomart's historic Chief Post Office building for Contract 1, and the equally energy-intensive bulk excavation of the Albert Street tunnels for Contract 2. The energy emissions tracking graphs show both contracts have continued to stay within their carbon budgets. Contract 1 has saved 165 tCO2e more than projected at this stage and is tracking 22 per cent better than its target, while Contract 2 has saved an additional 731 tCO2e and is tracking 33 per cent better than its target. The combined saving is equivalent to avoiding the emissions of 951 flights between Auckland and London1. 1 Based on the International Civil Aviation Organization flight emissions calculator, assuming one-way economy travel via Singapore.

Grid Electricity Using electricity sourced from the national grid, rather than diesel generators, reduces the carbon footprint of the energy used. This is because New Zealand’s electricity is mainly produced from low-carbon sources such as hydro, geothermal and wind. It is also more cost-effective in the long-run, even though connecting transformers to the high voltage network involves a significant lead time and has a higher up-front cost.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) partnership The haulage of approximately 200,000 tonnes of spoil from Albert Street, as part of the Contract 2 works, was identified early in construction planning as being a significant source of energy‑related carbon emissions. Consequently, CRL partnered with EECA to implement a driver training and truck monitoring programme to reduce these emissions.

Gl

With the Albert Street excavation nearing completion, haulage sub-contractor Gleeson & Cox have thus far reduced its fuel usage by five per cent as a result of the programme, a saving of over 5,000 litres of diesel and 15tCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions.

release of 15tCO2e of greenhouse gases.

Mt Eden Stormwater Realignment Contractor March-Bessac JV has a target to reduce the energy footprint of the Mt Eden stormwater diversion works by 10 per cent compared to business-as-usual. An initiative that will make a significant contribution to that goal is changing the construction methodology to remove one of the three shafts was originally planned (discussed in more detail in the materials section, page 23). This initiative saves 14,000 litres of diesel needed for excavation and a further 4,000 litres for transportation of materials and spoil, avoiding 49tCO2e of emissions and shaving almost five per cent off the total energy footprint.

WATER Water/Wai As with energy and materials, work during design and construction planning resulted in a projected reduction in the amount of water needed during construction: a 20 per cent decrease for C1 and 30 per cent decrease for C2. These projected reductions now form the reduction targets for construction. As per the charts below, both C1 and C2 have struggled to stay within their targeted water footprints, although for different reasons. For C1, the overshoot of the projection was due to higher-than-expected water use for jetgrouting – part of the underpinning works for Britomart – between April and July 2018. For C2, the issue was the unanticipated need to use water to cool the micro tunnel-boring machine used to install a new stormwater main in Albert Street. Despite this, more than eight million litres of water has been saved in total, compared to the business-as-usual base case. Although the original reduction targets now present a serious challenge, both contractors are still aiming to reduce water use as much as possible and are planning to recycle some of the water from their water treatment plants to replace potable water for activities such as dust suppression and backfill compacting.

MATERIALS While on-site electricity and diesel use are a visible source of greenhouse gas emissions, the “embodied carbon” associated with the production and transportation of building materials is actually a much larger contributor to the project’s construction carbon footprint, accounting for 85 per cent of projected construction emissions for Contracts 1 & 2 (and 39 per cent of the 100-year design life footprint). The vast majority of embodied carbon on the project is due to the manufacturing processes of concrete and steel, both of which use large amounts of fossil‑fuel in their production and include chemical processes that release greenhouse gases.

Mt Eden Stormwater Realignment At Mt Eden, an existing two-metre-diameter stormwater main is in the path of the new CRL tunnels and must be diverted. To do this, a new pipe will be “pipe-jacked” using a micro tunnel-boring machine that bores through the ground while pipe segments are pushed in behind it using hydraulic jacks. Because the stormwater line needs to turn an 80° angle and traditional pipe-jacks can only install pipes in near-straight lines, the original design required the construction of an 18m deep launch shaft in the middle of the realignment to allow the tunnel boring machine to bore out from there in each direction.

However, contractor March Bessac JV, is utilising a new technology that includes a flexible joint between each pipe segment. This will enable the pipe to be installed in a curve, meaning the entire 420m pipe can be installed in one “drive”. This removes the need for the shaft in the middle of the realignment, reducing the amount of energy and materials needed to complete the contract. Reducing the amount of concrete and steel in particular, but also diesel and aggregates, reduces the carbon footprint of the contract by over 370 tCO2e, an approximate 18 per cent reduction. In addition to the carbon footprint benefits, the initiative is also expected to save over $740,000.

Steel off-cuts, reused on site

Re-use of steel off-cuts Contractor Connectus, working on the Albert Street trench, is demonstrating “No. 8 wire” kiwi ingenuity, finding a new use for waste materials on site. They are using waste reinforcing, forming it into T-shaped pins and using it to secure the steel mesh onto the trench walls for shotcreting.

During demolition of the old back-of-house train crew accommodation, DSBJV identified an opportunity to re-use wall and roof framing timbers. These were salvaged and reconfigured to provide formwork for several concrete pours at Britomart Station. • This has reduced the need to purchase new timber for these works • The formwork will continue to be re-used on site until it is no longer in a usable condition, at which point the timber will be sent to Green Gorilla for recycling. • This also saves on transport emissions associated with taking away the waste timber and delivering new materials Approximately 1,300m of timber has been re-used in this way, representing a cost saving of $12,500.

Actual material use is now being tracked. As per the charts below, initiatives outlined in last year’s report, such as partially replacing cement with fly-ash and commissioning extra-large diameter reinforcing bar, has meant that both contracts are on track to achieve the targeted reductions.

Water Quality/Wai Ora Connectus, working on the Albert Street trench (Contract 2), worked with two key suppliers to create a new and efficient, high-capacity water treatment plant with a small physical footprint. This new innovation was custom-made for CRL requirements and is now being promoted to other clients. Since the plant was upgraded in May, approximately 3729m3 of water from the Albert Street trench has been treated. After treatment, this water has been discharged into the stormwater system or, if water quality parameters have not been met, to wastewater. Remote access is being used to monitor water quality. Connectus has water quality monitoring available on a live feed via their mobile phones and is also able to control pH and flocculant dosing remotely. This enables immediate alerts of any issues in the system and allows for small fluctuations to be controlled easily and at any time. 26

Environmental Monitoring Improving noise impacts on our local community. Working in the centre of a busy city, CRL endeavours to be a good neighbour and minimise disruption and disturbance as much as possible. Both Contracts 1 and 2 have 24/7 noise and vibration monitoring systems in place.

No

Contract 1’s Environment and Sustainability Manager says the system allows the construction team to be proactive and address any issues quickly and effectively, as they can more easily pinpoint the cause of any noises that are outside the pre-set limits. Usually, a construction project would only make changes to its procedures when complaints were received and assessed, but using this system enables the proactive management of site impacts and avoids prolonged/ future disturbances, either through mitigation measures or by changing the construction method. The construction team proactively manages its noise impacts mitigations such as noise barriers and by maintaining communication and relationships with project neighbours.

WASTE

Construction waste is estimated to make up about half of all waste sent to landfill. To help reduce this, CRL has adopted Auckland Council’s aspirational goal of zero waste to landfill and is focusing on making sure waste materials are beneficially re-used as much as possible. As well as one-off initiatives to find new uses for materials that might otherwise be discarded as waste, CRL contractors utilise waste providers that divert waste from landfill. These include We Compost for workers’ food waste, Green Vision and Ward Demolition for concrete waste and Green Gorilla for sorting and recycling general construction waste. To date, more than 155,000 tonnes of waste have been generated and more than 145,000 tonnes of that have been diverted from landfill to other uses.

To minimise the weight of the platform and thereby reduce the number of reinforced concrete piles needed, reusable polystyrene blocks were used in place of crushed concrete fill. This reduced the amount of new material needed (through a reduction in the number of piles required) and diesel used (for drilling piles and delivering and compacting the backfill). This year, DSBJV began demolishing the piling platform in preparation for the excavation of the rail tunnels.

Salvage of items from CRL sites As part of the stormwater realignment works at Mt Eden (Contract 6), two buildings needed to be demolished: a residential block of 18 apartments and a two-storey office building. To help save resources and divert waste from landfill, CRL worked with the Helensville and Waitakere Community Recycling Centres to survey the two buildings to identify materials that could be salvaged and re-sold. Hundreds of items were identified, ranging from hot-water cylinders and fire doors to stoves and kitchen sinks. Approximately five tonnes of reusable items were then carefully removed and delivered to the community recycling centres. The centres then sold them in their shops and online to raise funds for projects such as the HiTech Studio, which runs a creative, technology-focussed after school programme for local youth.

Re-use on site

Electronic PO system

On Contract 2, the zero waste to landfill target has resulted in some great innovations across all areas of the project.

Connectus (Contract 2) has moved from a paper-based purchase order system to an electronic system (eMRP) and changed to an electronic invoice processing system. Photocopier machine costs have dropped by around $600 a month and less is being spent on photocopier paper.

Office equipment, including computing equipment, has been re-used from other McConnell Dowell projects where they are no longer needed. Likewise, old computer monitors which are no longer needed on Contract 2 have been offered to families with high school students for use at home. Discarded safety equipment, such as gumboots, safety boots, gloves and glasses, have been re-homed for use either at home mowing the lawns or for relatives who may need them for work. This is an example of not only re-using but also encouraging safety at home and at work.

EMISSIONS, POLLUTION & WASTE

CRL worked with DSBJV (Contract 1) and the McLaren Park and Henderson South (MPHS) Community Trust to find new homes for items that were no longer required at Britomart Station and would have traditionally been sent to landfill. Re-usable objects, such as hand basins, taps, partitions, mirrors, urinals, hand driers, hand rails, shower fittings, cubicles, doors and wooden benches, were removed from the old train crew bathroom facilities and sold by Waitakere Transfer Station’s recycling shop.

This system has since been adopted by other Connectus projects. This initiative is saving an estimated 10,000 pages per month.

Contractor Safety

Public Safety Survey

CRL requires its contractors to score above 90 per cent in health and safety audits. Three audits on contractors’ health and safety management systems and on-site activities were carried out in August 2018, to ensure compliance with CRL requirements and legislative requirements. Findings from audits are reported at senior levels within CRL and necessary corrective actions tracked through to completion to ensure that on-site safety improvements are realised.

CRL asked the local community to feedback, via an online survey, on how safe they feel when moving around CRL construction sites on Albert Street or at Britomart Station. Overall, 88 per cent of the respondents said they felt either safe or very safe. Many positive comments were received, including that the project is “well thought out for the safety of the public” and the work sites are “well maintained and managed”.

On 27 July, DSBJV (Contract 1) celebrated two years LTI (Lost-time-injury) free since the project started. The joint venture gave vouchers to all staff members (including on-site and subcontractors) in recognition of the part each individual played in achieving this milestone. A sitewide BBQ was provided to celebrate the achievement. Connectus (Contract 2) encourages and recognises safe working practices through its weekly toolbox meetings, giving prizes for great examples of ensuring health and safety on the project, helping others and innovative ideas identified through ‘site report cards’. CRL is also considering adopting award systems that recognise individuals who have displayed exceptional health and safety attitude or behaviours.

Various bottles from mid-late 19th century. CRL archaeologists believe the wooden stake was likely used in the construction of the CPO, which was completed in 1912.

HERITAGE Building the future, uncovering the past Converting Britomart Station from a dead-end to a through station has provided an opportunity for CRL to contribute to cultural sustainability by conserving the built heritage of the historic Chief Post Office (CPO) building and literally digging into the area’s colonial past. During the reclamation of the Commercial Bay area of Auckland’s waterfront in the mid-1800s, household rubbish and building debris was thrown in to the fill.

The torpedo-shaped bottle is considered a rare find in New Zealand. Other recovered items include a complete stoneware master ink bottle with pouring lip, two broken bottles and the remains of a wooden scrubbing brush.

HERITAGE

These items, dating from mid to late 1800s, were recovered by contractors from reclamation fill beneath the CPO around 1.5 metres below ground.

PEOPLE AND PLACE

Now that CRL has started excavating around and under the CPO, many historic artefacts are being recovered. The heritage items are documented by the project’s archaeologist and CRL will be looking at ways to display them in the new stations.

Cultural blessing at the Mt Eden site Simon Lough, Design Manager Urban Realm for CRL, attended the blessing of the Contract 6 works. He tells his story of the experience.

The family made ready in the darkness of a chilly predawn. Travelling together from Auckland’s North Shore to Mt Eden. To the northern slopes of Maungawhau, Water Street, where until recently a spring-fed body of water supplied freshwater to the community for drinking and nourishing crops. Tales of events around this pond are still remembered today. We were heading there to take part in the dawn site blessing for the CRL Contract 6 works. The dawn blessing was timed to mark the start of works so those working on-site were clearly supported in their endeavours. The spirit of the land was alerted to the positive aspects and purpose of the proposed works, and how they would be conducted. We sought permission of the place and its spirit to allow the works to take place and for those working on, and those affected by the works to be safe and cared for, and calling on the people in turn to care for the place while the works were underway. A number of kaumatua from iwi involved in the CRL works attended. Represented were Ngāti Whatua Ōrakei, Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Te Ākitai Waiohua and Ngāti Maru,

along with supporting whanau. With grace and reverence and utmost respect of each other and to the place, of its memories, its potential and spirit, they shared and conducted the dawn blessing which was also attended by CRL staff, their families and the Contract 6 team. We walked the C6 works area, following as best we could, the path of the works, from the corner of Nikau and Ruru Streets back to Water Street and the current carpark near where the pond might have been. The C6 works – diverting the stormwater main that lies in the path of the future CRL tunnels at Mt Eden will be some 16 to 18 metres underground, with the exception of three vertical access shafts. After the energy-evoking blessing, kai is called for and after one of the kaumatua blessed the prepared food, we then ate and drank refreshments and mingled and chatted with others present, while we savoured the blessing and the sunlight of the new day. As we left to continue with our day, we were comforted that the site and works had been suitably blessed. C6 could now begin.

Team Briefings DSBJV held several briefings to educate and upskill staff with regard to the bulk excavation. At one of these, Hero Potini, a Mana Whenua representative from Ngāti Tamaoho, provided the C1 project team with a cultural briefing. This presentation gave an overview of the history of the area, its significance to Māori, as well as the protocols that must be followed if evidence of Māori occupation or remains is found during the bulk excavation.

Hero Potini from Ngāti Tamaoho opens the ISCA summit

ISCA summit On 7 June, the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) held its first New Zealand Infrastructure Sustainability Summit in Auckland: Enabling sustainability through infrastructure. It was only fitting that the summit was opened with a karakia by one of the members of CRL’s Mana Whenua Forum, Hero Potini from Ngāti Tamaoho. Julie Anne Genter, the Minister for Women and Associate Minister for Transport and Health, was the keynote speaker. She talked about the Government’s vision of a greener, more inclusive transport network that supports community health and wellbeing.

CRL staff spoke on sustainability for the project and how the relationship with Mana Whenua, and the knowledge that they share, is valued. The results of this relationship include the creation of Mahi Rauroa Aratohu (Guidance for the Health of All Things) which incorporates principles of kaitiakitanga into ISCA’s Infrastructure Sustainability technical manual. Also discussed was how CRL’s architects have been able to demonstrate to Mana Whenua that they have listened and captured what Mana Whenua had imparted and reflected it back in their designs. CRL is proud of the relationship it has with Mana Whenua.

Te Karere Te Karere, TV 1's Māori news, reported on two aspects of CRL. The first was construction progress from Britomart through to Mount Eden Station. Reporter Okiwa McLean said that they were very lucky to be able to go on site and see the works up close, acknowledging that it is the largest transport infrastructure project in New Zealand. One important question that Okiwa wanted to know was what happens if koiwi (human remains) were uncovered. He was advised that CRL would have an archaeologist on site if they thought it was an area that koiwi may be discovered and that work would cease immediately upon discovery and the CRL Mana Whenua Forum informed. The eight iwi involved in the forum have access to respond to any discoveries in a culturally sensitive way. Mana Whenua want to protect the living, the dead and those yet to come. The second report covered the CRL youth engagement programme (see page 13). 36

Nōku anō te waimārie te kite, te rongo ki ētahi o ngā tino huanga o te matai pūhanga ki te tuakoi tonga o te ao, ā ka mahingātahi ki ngā mahi āhuatanga hoahoa a CRL ka whakaaweawe hoki i ngā huanga āhuatanga. Ka tū te ihiihi, ka tū te wanawana, ka tau hoki te honore ki ahau. Being a kaitiaki for Te Ākitai Waiohua is a position of great responsibility and an honour. The relationship between Te Ākitai Waiohua and CRL is one of mutual respect, coupled with a willingness to learn, a shared desire to understand each other and one of easy friendship. CRL has consistently proven it has the capacity and willingness to listen and, more importantly, to actually hear what is being said. The opportunity to witness first-hand some of the most complex and highly technical engineering solutions undertaken in the southern hemisphere, and to be directly involved in the CRL urban design framework and quietly influence and inform the design outcomes, has been an exciting and hugely rewarding privilege.

Hero Potini Kihai au teenei mahi kaitiaki i whiriwhiri, naa teenei mahi ahau i whiriwhiri. Ka mihi atu ki ngooku maatua tuupuna. Naa raatou ahau i arataki, i poipoi mai. He mahi nui hei hunga kaitiaki moo Ngaati Tamaoho, heoi anoo, maa te mahingaatahi me ngaa iwi Mana Whenua ka whakapiki ake i te moohiotanga me te maaramatanga. He whakaaro rangatira taa CRL ka rapu ai ngaa tohunga whakaaro Maaori ka awhina, ka arataki, ka whakapakari i oo raatou moohiotanga me te maaramatanga moo te mahi kaitakitanga. Kua whakapikingia ake e CRL te mana o te mahi ukauka. Kei a raatou te aurere ki ngaa mahi, aa ka tauiratia araa ka hikoi te koorero.

I didn’t choose this mahi (kaitiakitanga) but the mahi (role) chose me. I acknowledge my ancestors who have guided and directed me in my life. Representing Ngāti Tamaoho has been a huge endeavour, however, by working collaboratively with other Mana Whenua iwi our knowledge and understanding is enhanced. I consider it wise that CRL chose to seek Māori expertise to help guide and strengthen them in their understanding and knowledge about kaitiakitanga. CRL has elevated the status of sustainability. They are passionate about what they do and lead by example. It is great to see our images, our artwork and our histories being shared and displayed in Auckland.

MANA WHENUA

Rawe hoki te kite atu i ngoo taatou tohu Maaori, ngoo taatou toi Maaori me ngoo taatou hitori e tohatoha ana, e whakaatuhia ana ki Taamaki Makaurau whaanui.

BEING A KAITIAKI REPRESENTATIVE TO THE CRL HEI HUNGA KAITIAKI MANA WHENUA KI TE CRL

Metiria Kaihau Ka whakaratohia tonutia e CRL ngā whiwhinga mō Mana Whenua, e tino pai rawa ana te whanaungatanga ki waenganui i a mātou. Nōku anō te hōnore me te humārie mō Mana Whenua me CRL. Ka whakamōhio, ka mahingātahi ngā kaimahi a CRL me Mana Whenua i ngā mahi ā ka taea te rongo i te wairua Ao Māori kei roto i a rātou. Nōku anō te whakaiti arā te wā, te kaha me te mana o ia kaimahi a CRL ka whakakaatuhia ō rātou mihi me ō rātou pepeha. Ka mau te wehi! CRL continues to provide awesome opportunities for Mana Whenua and the relationship we have is very good. I feel that it is an honour and privilege for both parties. CRL staff are very informative and inclusive with the projects they deliver and Te Ao Māori resonates throughout their staff members in many ways. I truly appreciate the time, effort and mana each staff member exhibits when they mihi and present their pepeha. Ka mau te wehi!

Zaelene Butler Ko te whanaungatanga i waenganui i a CRL me Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki ka hāpai ake ngā mātāpono a te Tiriti o Waitangi. I rongohia e au te karanga o aku mātua tūpuna kia mahi hei kaitiaki. Pai rawa ngā kōrerorero, te whakawhiti whakaaro me ngā akonakinranga nui, ko te mahi ukauka tētahi o ngā take. Ki ahau, ka akona hoki e ngā kaimahi a CRL i a mātou. Pai hoki te mahingātahi a Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki me CRL. Kua whakarongohia e CRL ki ō tātou take me ngā tumanako ka tiaki pai ai te taiao. Ka tautoko kaha hoki a CRL ērā o ngā iwi Mana Whenua e kimi mahi hou ana. The relationship between CRL and Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki upholds the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. I listened to the call of my ancestors to become a kaitiaki. I appreciate the discussions, the sharing of views and the awesome learnings that we receive, sustainability being one such topic. I also feel that CRL learns a lot from us. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and CRL work well together. CRL has listened to our concerns and hopes to care for the environment. They are also trying to support those Mana Whenua that may be seeking new jobs.

Jay Te Whare Ki ōku whakaaro, he kaitiaki ahau mō ngā taonga/mea katoa o Aotearoa, arā ngō tātou iwi me tō tātou taiao. Ko taku huihuinga i ngā CRL, ka mōhio i ngā whiwhinga mahi, whiwhinga pakihi, aha rānei hei painga mō Ngāti Paoa i tēnei wāhi mahi. He tauira mō tēnei, ko te tirohanga ki CRL e ngā rōpū/kura/rangatahi. Ka mōhio mai te iwi ki ngā mahi a CRL, he tirohanga noa iho, he wheako whatu puare mō te tokomaha, whēnā ki ahau.

Paoa ki uta, Paoa ki tai, Paoa ki tua

E ngākaunui ana ahau mō ngā huanga mahi whakauka me te mahi papori. Ka whakapikia hoki te mōhiotanga me te māramatanga e CRL o ngā tikanga Māori. I consider myself a kaitiaki for all things in Aotearoa, especially our people and our environment. Through attending CRL forums, I can find out what opportunities Ngāti Paoa can take advantage of in the CRL space. An example would be the group/school/rangatahi tours at CRL. Giving iwi members an insight into what CRL is all about and the mahi they do, just in a visit, would be an eye-opening experience for many, as it was for me.

MANA WHENUA

I’m excited about sustainability and social outcomes and look forward to CRL having a better understanding of tikanga.

PRINCIPAL TECHNICAL ADVISORS CRL's Principal Technical Advisors (PTA) provide multi-disciplinary technical advice to the CRL team throughout the project lifecycle. Aurecon is committed to growing a sustainable and resilient world. We team up with clients who share similar goals and together we deliver world-class projects of which we can all be proud. Many of these projects, by their very nature, have a social, environmental and economic dimension that can bring about positive development and resilience. Auckland’s City Rail Link is a great example of this. We look to build infrastructure that lives within communities rather than communities having to live with it. The key Aurecon principles: making the complex simple, being nimble and creating a legacy, form the foundation of our commitment to our client relationships, our promise to our people and the contribution we make to the communities in which we live and work. “As an Aucklander it’s exciting and rewarding to be part of a technically challenging project that will re-shape access in our city, whether it’s for business, education or recreation. The CRL will improve transport resilience, provide better connections and make public transport an even better choice” – Tom Ireland PTA Project Director Mott MacDonald actively pursues sustainable solutions and incorporates these where possible. We also work very closely with external stakeholders to deliver effective solutions. On C2 Albert Street Urban Realm Reinstatement works, we designed new street lighting to the AT-agreed lighting specification to provide improved light levels for a safer road for both vehicles and pedestrians. All new street lighting consists of energy efficient LEDs which have a long lamp life, resulting in fewer lamp replacements and landfill waste. All new lighting is to be wirelessly linked to AT’s intelligent lighting control system to operate lighting when required and reduce overall power consumption. Mott MacDonald believes that sustainable solutions need to be developed to underpin and solve problems. The City Rail Link development has used a truly culturally-integrated design framework. Jasmax has been proud to work in this partnership, established by City Rail Link, with Mana Whenua and the project’s key stakeholders, to present designs that authentically represent Tāmaki Makaurau.

The PTA is proud of its contribution to the CRL and the future for Tāmaki Makaurau

and its people. 44

With all of the below and above-ground works that need to happen to create a world-class public transport infrastructure system, the importance of kaitiaki has been held at the centre of all development discussions. This ensures that the disruption we are causing is done in a way that considers the impact we are having on the land, and that we do this in the most sustainable way possible. Recognition for these efforts from the ISCA sustainability rating is reflective of this. Working with the Mana Whenua forum and the CRL team, our architecture, landscape architecture and urban design staff have learned so much of the rich history of the CRL sites around Auckland. The team has worked hard to weave these narratives into the public plaza / realm and station designs and we’ll see these come to life over the next year. We’re excited to see more signs of this positive change arrive in Tāmaki Makaurau over the next 12 months.


Delivering CRL sustainably requires everyone to be collaborating to ensure the best outcomes and we acknowledge the efforts of all. Working on the client side are CRL's Principal Technical Advisors (PTA)
