The Business Hardship Programme (BHP) is now closed for applications.

City Rail Link Ltd (CRL Ltd) had a rent relief scheme for businesses along lower Albert Street impacted by delays to the construction activities carried out by CRL Ltd’s contractors as part of the C2 contract.

 Work on the C2 contract started in 2016 and was scheduled to finish in September 2019 but due to construction taking longer than planned, was completed in October 2020.

 CRL Ltd recognises the hardship this delay may have caused some businesses, as such small retail businesses established prior to September 2019 within the C2 Albert Street Impact Zone were eligible to apply to the BHP.

If you believe your business was affected by these works and you missed out on applying, please email CRL Ltd at HardshipProgramme@CityRailLink.govt.nz.
