Industrial-scale opportunity for Whanganui growth

Mānuka Industrial Estate is a proposed industrial subdivision positioned to support Whanganui's next phase of growth.

Comprising approximately 18.57 hectares of industrially zoned land, the estate is being advanced as a staged, master planned development designed to deliver high quality, fit for purpose industrial sites within an established and expanding precinct.

The proposed subdivision will provide sites ranging from approximately 3,485sqm to 8,505sqm, with flexibility to accommodate tailored configurations where scale or operational requirements demand it. This is an opportunity for occupiers and strategic partners to secure a footprint within a coordinated estate environment, enabling cohesive planning, efficient servicing and long-term operational certainty.

The estate is well suited to warehousing, distribution, inland port services, infrastructure construction and advanced manufacturing operations, including enterprises aligned with renewable energy and low emissions objectives. Its scale and positioning complement ongoing regional investment in transport connectivity and port related activity, supporting integrated supply chains and future industrial expansion.

Comprehensive geotechnical investigations have been undertaken across the wider landholding to inform development planning. The assessment confirms the site is generally suitable for conventional industrial construction, with stable ground conditions and low overall liquefaction susceptibility, providing confidence for staged delivery and long-term asset performance Geotech.

Expressions of interest are now sought from occupiers seeking long term tenure within a strategically positioned industrial estate. Preferred structures include:
• Ground lease arrangements enabling occupiers to deliver purpose-built improvements on secure long-term tenure
• Design and build lease solutions delivered to occupier specification under agreed development and lease terms

Alternative commercial structures may be considered where aligned with the estate's long-term vision. This is an opportunity to secure scale, flexibility and strategic positioning within a coordinated industrial environment designed to attract high quality, future focused industry to Whanganui.
