When people ask why should Central Government invest in Northland? The Question should be why would you not want to invest in Northland? Northland has a large amounts of under-developed land, stunning scenery, native forests, rich in history, beautiful beaches that you can get lost in, and productive soils that you can grow virtually anything. Northland is also next to the largest concentrated population base for the country (Auckland). Northland hosts New Zealand's largest Natural Deep water sea port with the ability to expand, with amazing Solar, Wind and Geothermal energy generation potential, and hosts some of the leading edge industries in Engineering, Agriculture, Horticulture, Aquaculture and development in the Country. As someone who has travelled the world, and also grown up here in Northland, I can say "with hand on Heart", as a region we have produced some amazing businesspeople, sportspeople, artists, creatives, and volunteers. More per capita than any other region in New Zealand. Northland is the "Birth place of the Country!" Ultimately the question is why are you not investing in Northland now? https://lnkd.in/gCNhtu73

Northland - a holiday location with a heap of weed added in?? I’ll say absolutely yes to the first, and not my area of expertise to the second, however we are SO MUCH MORE! After shifting to Whangarei 8 years ago without a job, I thought it would mean a massive step back in responsibility and salary. Instead I have had the best two jobs in my career, first with McKay and then Naut. I have also learnt about amazing businesses here that deliver on the biggest projects in NZ, export globally or are helping to solve health or climate challenges. And it’s all done by people quietly getting on and doing it. This quiet determination means many successful and interesting businesses are just not known about. So it was great to have our first Northland Advanced Manufacturing Aotearoa event, attended by Minister of Manufacturing Andrew Bayly as well as a large number of manufacturing businesses. I loved having the opportunity to open the session and encourage us all to celebrate our successes more, so we can procure from, learn from and generally support each other. Thanks heaps to the awesome people that helped organise this event Catherine Lye Lyndsay Jobin Jane Finlayson Jason Reeves #electricboats #poweredbynaut #loveithere #loveourbrand

Last week, we joined with Z Energy NZ to announce work will begin on a new jet fuel storage contract at Marsden Point. The new contract is a demonstration of our commitment to reinforcing Auckland’s critical jet fuel supply chain. Channel’s Marsden Point site is the direct supply route to Auckland International Airport and we are proud to support Z by providing the critical link in the supply chain that keeps New Zealand connected to its global markets.

This is a great animation if you’re wondering how these will work

Right let’s put the foot down and get this damn thing moving… because the information we’ve been given is that we still don’t have an actual route and land still needs to be purchased

Media Release from Mayoral Forum 12-7-24 Northland Mayors and Chair renew support for key economic developments The Northland Mayoral Forum, which includes the three Northland Mayors and the Northland Regional Council Chair, has renewed their commitment to the major infrastructure projects listed in their Northland Forward Together shared strategic collaboration document. Whangārei Mayor and Chair of the Northland Mayoral Forum, Vince Cocurullo, says the Northland region is in desperate need of economic investment.    “The Northland Mayoral Forum is united in our determination to see robust, sustainable economic growth here in Northland. We need to plan for strategic growth that balances development, environmental protection, cultural values and land use, so our communities can have a better quality of life both economically and environmentally. The Forum’s renewal of commitment to economic growth comes after consent for a Northport expansion, which could have created 1500 jobs and boosted Northland’s GDP by an estimated $160 million, was declined based on concerns around the scale and extent of the proposed reclamation.  Mayor Cocurullo says that Northland’s access to markets remains a challenge, whether it is by road, rail, air or sea.    “There is an opportunity for the government to improve road and rail infrastructure right now, so the region is better linked to its customers to support economic growth. We still have a vision for growing Northport, such as dry dock development and diversifying cargo for Northland/Auckland, and a Marsden Point development and Marsden Point refinery re-purpose which could include development of sustainable energy sources.  “High on our list of regional priorities is the need for strengthened connectivity in transport, power and communications. Our communities need a four-lane Northland expressway, more reliable power and internet connections, more affordable housing and – crucially – more employment opportunities.  “With robust partnerships and communications, we are hoping that any future concerns around economic development and investment will be alleviated, and we can progress with the essential development Northland so desperately needs.” 

14 Million dollars… this is what it cost northlands every day the Brynderwyns route was closed.
