April 2016 : Northland Regional Council Chairman(Bill Shepherd)'s Report
"Rail has been very much in the news in recent weeks with the mothballing of the railway line north of Kauri, and a large turnout for a public meeting in Whangārei organised by 'Grow Northland Rail.' Rail's role in the Northland freight scene does need to be kept in perspective however, with rail currently carrying less than 2% of Northland's export freight. So whilst the regional council does not build road or rail infrastructure, the council is taking a precautionary approach and has designated land for a corridor through to the port at Marsden Point should a rail link ever be built. The council has already purchased a small proportion of the land required."
