Develop and follow a routine maintenance programme to ensure that all existing fencing is kept in sound condition to optimise the safety potential of the structures.
Review New Zealand Rail Limited's fencing policy with a view to establishing a sound fence for sufficient distance with side of island platforms to make the authorised access more attractive than bypassing a fence.
