Where should Wellington's future ferry terminal be built? Two new rail ferries are due in 2024, but new terminals are needed in the capital and Picton to accommodate them. Kiwirail which operates the Interislander favours an inner harbour site at Kings Wharf, going against the recommendation of a forum of all other stakeholders, which recommended Kaiwharawhara.

Kathryn speaks with Chair of the Greater Wellington Regional Council, Daran Ponter and Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young.
