    Infrastructure Minister Grant Robertson has said, the 'Let's Get Wellington Moving' project is a lifetime opportunity 'to shape' the capital city.

    In a speech with many references to climate emergency and carbon emissions, the minister has announced that the government's 'preferred approach' is a light rail system from Wellington Station to Island Bay and a new tunnel through Mount Victoria for public transport, walking and cycling.

    This will be a part of the $6.4 billion Let's Get Wellington Moving programme.
