Kaikōura earthquake recovery - our story - December 2017

We have been reflecting a lot on what it’s taken to deliver the rebuilding and reconnecting of the railway, the harbour and the roading system following the Kaikōura earthquake.
While the final push to open SH1 north of Kaikoura - a milestone finally achieved - was astounding, it has in fact been a full year of effort from so many people. More than 1700 people from across NZ and around the world joined together to repair and renew the coastal and inland transport networks. Making this video has helped us revisit the extraordinary steps taken to get to where we are today.
This is ‘our story’.
