Auckland Transport is developing a station for Parnell, adjacent to the Mainline Steam workshops to the east of Auckland Domain and adjacent to Cheshire Street (referred to as the Mainline Steam site). The station will service and integrate both the residential and commercial Parnell communities, and the surrounding areas of interest.The project seeks to:

• Create a high quality rail station with strong direct connections to key catchments including Parnell Village, the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland University, and Carlaw Park;

• Create a high quality heritage destination focused around the old Newmarket Station which will be relocated to the site; and

• Create a fully integrated precinct that promotes improved connections and access.

The project will be developed in two stages.

Stage 1 – ENABLING WORKS

Stage 1 will involve enabling works to be undertaken in the 2011/12 Christmas period, when train services will be stopped (referred to as a block-of-line). The enabling works are required to facilitate the future station construction.

These works include: • Earthworks to lower the track in order to achieve the appropriate

grade for station platforms;• Retaining structures and/or batter slopes;• Track realignment to accommodate the station platforms.• Relocation of the existing underpass which provides access to/from

Auckland Domain, in order to maintain existing pedestrian access.

Stage 2 – STATION MASTER PLAN AND CONSTRUCTION

Stage 2 will involve the development of the station masterplan and construction of the new Parnell Railway Station, due to be undertaken in 2013/14.

These works will generally involve:• The construction of two station platforms located to the northeast of

the Mainline Steam building.• Relocation of the old Newmarket Station and associated signal box

to the site.• New pedestrian connections and pathways.

Landscaping and planting.

PARNELL STATION

ENABLING WORKS

16th November 2011 3

The proposed enabling works at the site are required in order to achieve a 1:80 grade on future platforms associated with a new Parnell Railway Station.

The works will involve:

• Track lowering along the existing corridor

• Two retaining walls are required on the western side of the rail corridor

• Batter slopes are required on both the eastern and western side of the rail corridor

• Re-confi guration of the Mainline Steam track infrastructure;

• The removal of the existing precast concrete pipe underpass, due to the depth of the track lowering extending into the structure.

• The construction of a new underpass to the north of the existing underpass, some 10 m in length and 2.5 m wide, with a clearance of 2.5 m; and

• Earthworks are required in order to undertake the track lowering and retaining structures.

These works require a major block-of-line (BOL – no trains running on this section of line) because of the scale, complexity, and track and signalling activities. The next available opportunity to undertake works during a BOL is during the 2012/13 Christmas period.

Construction OutlineTrack loweringThe track lowering will involve:

• Dismantling the existing rails and sleepers to stockpile within the rail corridor;

• Removing ballast (aggregates) to a depth of approximately 400mm stockpiling within the rail corridor.

• Excavating additional cut to the subgrade level of up to 2.5m from the top of the existing rail level;

• Constructing formation using GAP65;

• Check grade / level/ cross-fall;

• Lay ballast aggregate to a depth of approximately 300mm; and

• Assemble and lay rail track to the position, level and grade.

Removal of existing underpassThe removal of the existing underpass is required to facilitate track lowering. This work will involve:

• Lowering the track formation down to mid culvert height, then cut down the existing underpass culvert at mid height and remove the wing walls;

• Pedestrian access to/from Auckland Domain will be maintained throughout the period of works via the existing underpass and/or a temporary rail crossing.

Construction of new underpassA new underpass will be constructed works which will involve:

• Excavating to the level of the underpass for subgrade preparation;

• Construction of underpass involving precast concrete wing walls and precast concrete box units;

• Water proofi ng the sections prior to backfi lling and constructing the rail support and track.

EarthworksSignifi cant earthworks is required to be undertaken in order to lower the existing tracks. Construction earthworks will generally involve:

• Excavating soils to form suitable slopes;

• Placement of structural fi ll, where required;

• Backfi lling retaining walls with compacted granular fi ll.

Connections

The design of the Parnell Station Precinct and Station has set out to achieve the following key objects:

• A high quality rail station with strong direct connections to key catchments including Parnell Village, the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland University, and Carlaw Park.

• A high quality cultural and heritage destination focused around a new Parnell Station that integrates the old Newmarket Station building.

• A robust and fully integrated precinct structure that promotes the mixed use urban development and intensifi cation of adjacent under utilised ‘brown fi eld’ land.

The design for the Parnell Station Precinct responds to the following key design drivers:

Place making• Creation of a high quality cultural and heritage destination focused

around a new Parnell Station that integrates the old Newmarket Station building.

Encourage Public Transport• Creating a built form that encourages people to ride public transport

more often.

Neighbourhood Cohesion• Integration of Parnell with the Carlaw Park site across the rail

corridor and the University beyond.• Integration of Parnell with the Domain and Auckland War Memorial

Museum across the rail corridor.

Community Revitalisation• Mixed use urban development and intensifi cation of brown fi elds

land.

Conservation• Adaptive re-use and conservation of the old rail workshops• Adaptive re-use and conservation of the old Newmarket Station

building

Public Safety• Activate precinct and foster movement and presence.• Create built in security throughout the day with the presence of

diverse/multi-use occupants.
