it doesn't actually say what it does/did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.178.115 (talk) 22:28, 28 October 2019 (UTC) fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.178.115 (talk) 22:32, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is fairly obvious in what they did. They were the ones who developed national infrastructure. Now days we use a company called Downer for the most of our road construction and maintenance, I am unsure who we use for rail construction. However I can confirm that kiwi rail maintains most rail networks around New Zealand. 114.23.153.199 (talk) 02:54, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Founding date

The current text states that the organisation was founded in 1976, which appears to be wrong. The 1897 Cyclopedia of NZ (https://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc01Cycl-t1-body-d3-d15-d9.html) gives an establishment date of 1871. I will correct the text accordingly.
