Recycled NZ building material heading to Tonga

From , 5:01 am on 31 October 2019

Building material salvaged in New Zealand will be shipped to Tonga next month to help rebuild communities battered last year by Cyclone Gita.

The material was stripped from buildings owned by City Rail Link, or CRL, being demolished in Auckland.  

Sai'a Latu is the managing director of the salvage company TROW Group which is behind the shipment.

Mr Latu told Ben Robinson Drawbridge the salvage operation has prevented decent material from being wasted.
