ASSET: POT: Canterbury Intermodal Freight Hub
Port of Tauranga Limited announced today that it has signed a conditional
agreement with the Selwyn District Council to purchase 15 hectares of land in
the Izone Industrial Park at Rolleston for development as an intermodal
freight hub. The Izone development is a 180 hectare industrial park 12
kilometres south of Christchurch, with excellent road and rail connections,
which has been established to cater for manufacturing, warehousing and
logistics businesses.
Port of Tauranga is planning to establish an intermodal freight hub to
receive, pack and distribute containerised cargo.
Port of Tauranga recently acquired a 50% shareholding in PrimePort Timaru and
operates its container terminal. Establishing an intermodal freight hub at
Rolleston will provide South Island exporters the option to efficiently
access Timaru and similarly, importers in the Christchurch area will have the
option to ship through Timaru.
The Izone Industrial Park is owned by Selwyn District Council and managed by
Hughes Developments Limited.
