🌱 Tuputupu Grow Northland Initiative 🌱 Launched in 2024, Pūtake Whakatupu (Foundation for Growth) is our primary workstream under the Tuputupu Grow Northland Initiative. This transformative project aims to identify, support and develop land use and value-add manufacturing opportunities in Taitokerau Northland. This includes supporting and developing both existing and new land uses, the development of in region value-add primary sector manufacturing, and commercialising new primary sector products and services, along with supporting Iwi and Hapu aspirations for their whenua in a by māori for māori approach. One of the first deliverables is to develop a series of Market Opportunity Reports that assess economic pathways for optimising land use and creating value-added products in the region. 🚜 Landowners - We want to hear from you 🚜 To help us identify which opportunities to prioritise for these reports, we need to build a picture of Northland Primary Industries & Associated Manufacturing. A survey has been launched to enable interested parties to help us build a picture of the current primary industries and associated manufacturing landscape in Northland. We want to hear from landowners, local farmers, growers, and associated manufacturing sectors and would appreciate your feedback. ➡️ Find the survey here: https://lnkd.in/ggpNYiFe

Exciting progress at Marsden Point as we look to deliver on our Energy Precinct plans outlined last week, and support our customers with increased fuel storage in New Zealand. This 37-metre crane that went up last week will help us to deliver our latest fuel storage contract. This is the first time we’ve used this type of crane which will increase productivity, and safety for our team. The crane itself is electrically driven, via the certified renewable electricity being supplied to our Marsden Point site. The crane will be onsite for two-years as we convert more storage for our customers, improving New Zealand’s fuel supply chain resilience.

Have a look and sign up for the updates on the Northland Corridor.

New Zealand First welcomes the news the Marsden Point's owners have a vision for the future that will help boost New Zealand's future energy and fuel resilience, as well as the local economy. Increased energy capacity and aviation fuel storage at Marsden Point will add to the site's strategic value for New Zealand.

This is great news for Northland.

We're excited to be starting work on the new Northland Corridor – a 100-kilometre stretch of four-lane expressway from Warkworth to Whangārei, connecting Auckland and Northland. We've already got drillers in the ground in Warkworth doing initial site investigations. The Northland Corridor is part of the Government's Roads of National Significance programme. The new road will address the major resilience and safety issues with the current State Highway 1, and it'll unlock economic growth and productivity by moving people and freight efficiently, quickly, and safely across the region, supporting housing development, and providing more resilience during extreme weather events. As you can see in the map below, we'll be building the road in three sections: Warkworth and Te Hana, Te Hana to Port Marsden Highway, and Port Marsden Highway to Whangārei. We're planning to start building the first section from Warkworth to Te Hana by the end of 2026. It's consented and we're underway purchasing property. The Government has agreed in principle to an accelerated delivery strategy and we’re considering a wide range of funding, financing, and delivery tools to deliver this project quickly and cost effectively. You can keep up to date with our work on the Northland Corridor by signing up to our email newsletter.
