As one of the three strategic distribution and logistics hubs in New Zealand, Te Utanganui has several competitive investment advantages:
NZ's Agrifood Capital
Primary production supports infrastructure investment and growth opportunities.
The lower North Island boasts ~18% of New Zealand’s dairy cows and five dairy processing facilities, 21 meat processing facilities, and log exports of ~4m tons per annum. In total there is ~13.5mt of freight transported from the region every year.
24/7 Airfreight
Infrastructure creates growth and efficient supply chains.
Palmerston North Airport is one of only three national airports with 24/7 operations and direct air cargo services providing overnight delivery nationwide and global airfreight connections. The existing Palmerston North rail hub is one of the busiest rail sites in New Zealand. The NZ government has invested in major roading projects creating strong connections to the north, south, east and west.
The Middle Million
Population drives distribution centre growth.
Central New Zealand’s population exceeds 1,000,000 people and is projected to grow to over 1,230,000 by 2048.
Te Utanganui is home to major distributors including Woolworths, Foodstuffs, Toyota NZ and DKSH and the list of major warehouse developments continues to grow.
Open for Business
Strong demand and growth pipeline creates investment opportunities.
Te Utanganui boasts three industrial parks that offer private direct investment in warehousing and transportation businesses with immediate road, rail and air access. Industrial land values in Te Utanganui are attractive compared to those in other regions, and Palmerston North City Council has recently reduced development contributions for new commercial investment.
