Auckland Dockline Tramway Operations

Details

The Auckland Dockline Tramway was opened in August 2011. This initiative was envisioned as a place making activity to create public interest, enable early activation of the developing Wynyard Quarter and facilitate better public access to this newly accessible part of Auckland. The tram ran (subject to development works) on a circular, purpose-built 1.5km track around the Wynyard Quarter.
The loop was decommissioned in August 2018 to allow for the commencement of works on West 2, a development site adjacent to the tram shed when a portion of the track had to be uplifted.
It is anticipated that full service could be resumed in the 1st quarter of 2020. We are looking for a third party to manage the Tramway and its operations from 3rd February 2020.

(a) Liaison with NZTA for the continued issue of a rail licence to the Access Provider and Tramway operator.
(b) Preparation and maintenance of Safety cases for the Access Provider and tramway operator.
