Station names open for public consultation
City Rail Link has an exciting development to share in its journey to officially name its four stations.
Public consultation was held in late 2022, meaning Kiwis across Tāmaki Makaurau and Aotearoa could share their views on the names behind this important mahi (work).
As you may be aware, earlier in the year City Rail Link put forward a proposal to have four stations names, gifted by its Mana Whenua Forum, officially recognised by the national place naming authority.

These te reo Māori names - Maungawhau, Karanga-a-Hape, Te Waihorotiu and Waitematā – are proposed to replace the pre-existing/interim names.
The names are inspired by the cultural heritage of the of the geographic locations these stations will serve, which will be reflected in the designs of the buildings themselves – further deepening the station’s connection to people and place.
The authority, the New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa, has considered these names and made minor adjustments to the grammatical presentation as below.
Maungawhau / Mount Eden Station
Karanga-a-Hape Station (Karangahape)
Te Waihorotiu Station (Aotea)
Waitematā Station (Britomart)
