IZONE
More than 120 companies, primarily
in the manufacturing, construction,
logistics, and agricultural sectors, have
made Izone home.
Izone, a 188ha business hub, and one
of New Zealand’s largest industrial
developments, is only 12 minutes from
Hornby, 20 minutes from Christchurch
International Airport, and 40 minutes
from the Port of Lyttelton. When the
Southern Motorway opens, these
times could be cut by as much as 50%.
The development, owned by Selwyn
District Council, ensures commercially
favourable district plan rules, including
no development levies, no maximum
site cover requirements, and no
restrictions on the generation of traffic
movements. Retail activity provisions
are relatively permissive, and noise
standards are realistic.
Izone’s state of the art infrastructure
takes a best practice approach,
recognising urban design trends. Its
wide roads and carefully designed
traffic management systems, network
of walkways, native plantings, and
attractive communal areas make
it very environmentally friendly,
encourage a sense of community,
and create the potential for enhanced
work-life balance. These sustainability
features and Izone’s demonstrable
affordability – low land costs, low
rates, and developer friendly district
plan – make it the envy of other largescale
industrial parks nationally.
Izone contributes significantly to
Selwyn’s economic growth, creating
more and more jobs as it grows, and
bringing industry to the region.
IPORT
IPort, the Carter Group’s 122ha
industrial and logistics park, is
Link Drive
revolutionising freight movements
through the Canterbury region. It
is strategically positioned at the
intersection of the South Island’s major
freight arteries – the South Island Main
Trunk Railway line, the Midland Railway
line, and State Highway 1. These already
provide easy access to Christchurch
International Airport and Lyttelton
Port. When the Southern Motorway
opens (2019/2020) efficiency will be
even more enhanced.
IPort provides a diversity of land
offering, from small industrial land for
sale, through to large design, build and
lease options. Sites can be customised
and operated on 24/7.
As with the adjacent Izone, the
Selwyn District Council is supportive
of IPort’s growth, and benefits such
as no maximum site cover, realistic
noise standards, and no restrictions
on traffic movements, making IPort a
fantastic opportunity for businesses.
