We are thrilled to have Auckland Light Rail Board Chair Leigh Auton, Business Case and Consenting Lead Cameron Law, and Strategic Urban Lead Amanda Harland join us to talk about the urban opportunities created by the Auckland Light Rail project. Together, they will outline how this project will support more housing and employment choice, enable thriving, vibrant and diverse town centres, and improve quality of life for decades to come.

Light rail is much more than a transport project. It's a significant step towards a better future for Auckland. Investing in light rail provides a foundation for future growth and development to enable our communities, economy, and environment to thrive. When we are easily connected to the places we visit most, our quality of life improves. As our city grows, light rail will help people move more freely. Investing in high capacity, high quality, rapid transit is critical to developing a modern, connected city that supports new, improved public spaces, homes, shops, community facilities and jobs.

There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions, and light refreshments will be provided after the talk.
