Strategic advantages

A buffer in the export process — relieving pressure on coastal ports while giving exporters control over outbound freight.

200 hectares in total with 55 hectares designated as an intermodal freight hub.

Zoned industrial so does not require a plan change to facilitate proposed operational activities.

Direct access to State Highway 1 and the Main South Rail Line, the South Island’s main trunk rail.

Situated away from large residential populations to mitigate noise and operational reverse sensitivities.

Privately funded by 
Calder Stewart.

Reduces truck movements into Dunedin, reducing carbon emissions and 
traffic volume.

Sustainability focussed as a renewable energy precinct, benefitting occupiers and 
reducing costs.

Does not require heavy traffic bypasses or major roading infrastructure.

Links to Awarua Quadrant, 
a 513-hectare industrial zoned intermodal hub and renewable energy precinct in Southland, which provides occupiers additional scale and efficiencies.
