Kawakawa Industrial Precinct 

Strategically located amidst some of the most productive farmland in New Zealand, the Kawakawa Industrial Precinct in Feilding presents a compelling opportunity for industrial development and investment. With direct and efficient access to State Highways 3 and 54, the precinct offers superior connectivity for freight, logistics, and workforce accessibility, making it an ideal location for a wide range of industrial activities.

Spanning 74 hectares of zoned industrial land, the precinct provides ample capacity for current and future growth. A key enabler of this development is the construction of a new road linking Turners Road to Kawakawa Road. This crucial infrastructure project, known as the Turners Road Extension, will unlock access to an initial 24 hectares of industrial-zoned land, opening the door for businesses to establish operations with essential services in place.

Further strengthening its potential, the precinct is located near the recently upgraded ManawatūWastewater Treatment Plant, representing a significant public infrastructure investment. This proximity makes the site especially well-suited for wet industries.

With its robust infrastructure, prime location, and scalable industrial land offering, the Kawakawa Industrial Precinct is poised to play a vital role in supporting economic growth and job creation in the Manawatū district and wider region and is a key component of Te Utanganui’s business development.
