Station History
The Paekākāriki Station Precinct Trust was formed in 1993 by a group of people from the local community, who were concerned about the very fast decline of Paekākāriki’s rail heritage.
The primary objective was and remains to ensure that 1909 built railway station was saved from destruction. To achieve this goal, the Paekākāriki Station Precinct Trust was formed and work commenced on a complete rebuild of the dilapidated station interior.
The completion of this major reconstruction work saw the Paekākāriki Rail and Heritage Museum opened in 1995.
