This scheme saved Rongotai College and provided for a north-south runway. A major part of the scheme involved the complete removal of Rongotai Hill. Construction of the airport began in 1953, with the six-year project costing £5 million. Spoil from Rongotai Hill was used to reclaim land in Evans Bay and Lyall Bay.
