Developers plan to turn Auckland underground tunnels into subterranean city

Newshub   30 January 2018   New Zealand   Auckland  

The developers of what's been dubbed the biggest tourist attraction in New Zealand say it could open in six months, if Auckland Council get its act together.

Four kilometres of tunnels sit unused under the CBD's Albert Park, with plans to develop them into underground bars, restaurants and even a glow worm cave.

Video shot last month shows the Albert Park tunnels don't really exist as a structure any more. The roof has caved in and the timber beams have failed.

Project transport manager Nicolas Reid says the tunnels are effectively gone to the ravages of time.
