North East Industrial Zone
The North East Industrial Zone is in the heart of the Manawatū's industrial landscape and is purpose-built to meet the growing demand for 24-hour freight access and large-scale distribution sites. It provides a prime location for uninterrupted operations.
The zone has already attracted significant national and international distribution businesses to set up in its central New Zealand location and tap into its outstanding potential.
The North East Industrial Zone spans 233 hectares, with 121 hectares already serviced and connected to key infrastructure. This setup has let local businesses grow by opening up space along our northern trunk line for small and medium enterprises. The zone is set to expand by 26 hectares in 2026 under Te Utanganui’s masterplan, with another 150 hectares to the east in 2032 to meet demand from KiwiRail’s planned Regional Freight Hub.
