Transport Rebuild East Coast (TREC)
Over the past few years, Tairāwhiti and Hawke's Bay have experienced significant rainfall, coastal surges and strong winds, all of which puts pressure on the roading and rail networks.
Following these damaging weather events, work has been underway by the Transport Rebuild East Coast (TREC) Alliance to deliver recovery works to keep roads and rail open and ensure access.
The TREC Alliance members include the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA), KiwiRail, Downer, Fulton Hogan and Higgins. The Alliance works alongside local businesses and contractors.
The East Coast has a strong pool of hard-working, skilled and experienced contractors, consultants and suppliers who understand both road and rail building and the East Coast whenua. TREC is complementing – not replacing – existing resource within the region, using an 'East Coast first' philosophy for physical works, with specialists from other regions brought in as required.
We'll complete several projects which improve the quality of the network and give value for money over the life of the work. Use our journey planner to see how upcoming works could affect your trip.
