The Rangiuru Business Park is set to be a modern, future-focused, and high-quality industrial business park that supports the liveability and prosperity of the people and the region for generations to come.

N estled in the heart of the Bay, within the ‘Golden Triangle’, it is conveniently located 30kms from the Port of Tauranga, connected by road, rail and sea.

It boasts 148 hectares of consented industrial land, to be developed over four stages. Bulk infrastructure to service the Park began in 2022, with major works underway including earthworks, civil, wastewater rising main to Te Puke, water reservoirs, a stormwater pond, power, fibre connectivity and upgrades to nearby roads.

These works will service the Park and also provide futureproofing to the area for continued regional growth.

Right on the doorstep is the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (TELTR), to be connected by a motorway interchange which commenced in October 2022.

In late August 2023, the development hit another significant milestone, with the installation of eight large beams, each 33.1m in length and weighing approximately 65T, fixed onto columns straddling the TELTR.

This is a key piece of infrastructure that will link the Park to the motorway and the wider region – a visual signifier of the notable progress for the project.

The interchange is expected to be open in late 2024.

As the lead developer for the Rangiuru Business Park, Quayside has owned and funded this approximately $60M interchange build to date, following an initial $18M contribution from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) in 2020. This provided the seed capital to start the motorway interchange, a vital piece of infrastructure and considerable investment into the region.

“The overall vision for the Park will contribute significantly to the region. As such, we have invested heavily into infrastructure, such as the interchange, which will have long-term regional benefits for our rohe” says Lyndon Settle, Quayside CEO.

Recent studies have shown that industrial land is constrained in the BOP, with Tauriko and Mount Maunganui at capacity, new sites are needed to cater for the expected long-term future growth of the region.

“The Western Bay of Plenty is a popular place for businesses to locate themselves, and we have seen strong growth in our local business community in recent years.

“Industrial land is sought after to meet future demand and to provide additional choice for developers and businesses. The location of Rangiuru means it is well served to cater to demand on the Eastern side of our city,” says Priority One chief executive Nigel Tutt.

Once completed the Park will provide up to an estimated 4,000 permanent, full-time employment opportunities in the region, in addition to the 200 jobs per year created during construction stages.

Quayside Holdings GM Property, Michael Jefferies says “This development meets the shortfall in high-quality industrial land close to the Port of Tauranga. The proximity and established multimodal transport links providing wider regional accessibility between Tauranga, Whakatāne, Te Puke, Kawerau and Rotorua offer huge opportunities”.

The Park is being developed in consideration and support of regional growth strategies (SmartGrowth, Future Development Strategy, Tauranga Transport Plan, Tauranga Urban Strategy, Bay of Connections Growth Strategy, UFTI, etc), in addition to the needs of local businesses, expanding communities.

Lyndon Settle, Quayside CEO said, “The role of Central Government investment into our region’s core infrastructure, plays a critical role in unlocking the Bay of Plenty’s economic potential.

“Quayside is responsible for growing a diversified fund that generates long-term returns that support the prosperity of the BOP. Rangiuru Business Park will play an important role in enabling economic growth across this region.”

The Rangiuru Business Park is majority-owned by Quayside Properties Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quayside Holdings Limited, the investment arm of Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council.

Rangiuru Business Park gets significant funding

Quayside properties limited was delighted to receive the government announcement supporting the rangiuru business park..

At an announcement event in Te Puke on July 31, Regional Economic Development Parliamentary Under-Secretary Fletcher Tabuteau confirmed the Provincial Growth Fund will contribute $18 million to the construction of a motorway interchange for Rangiuru Business Park on the Tauranga Eastern Link.

Rangiuru Business Park is the largest consented greenfield industrial zone in the Bay of Plenty.  When completed, it will offer up to 148 net hectares of industrial land, giving the Western Bay of Plenty two significant industrial zones, with Tauriko in the west and Rangiuru in the east.

Quayside Properties Limited first acquired land in the Rangiuru zone in 2004.  Quayside has since this time instigated three private plan changes, to firstly rezone the land as industrial and then to acknowledge the impact of the Tauranga Eastern Link, and water needs of the park.

Scott Hamilton, Chief Executive of Quayside Properties noted at the PGF announcement “This journey began over 15 years ago when the potential of this area was identified. Rangiuru is expected to create many new and diverse job opportunities for communities around Te Puke, Paengaroa, Maketu and further east”.

“Today’s announcement will create confidence for investment decisions and bring the development of Rangiuru Business Park forward, enabling small landowners and iwi landowners within the park to share in the development opportunities it creates.”

Mr Hamilton says Rangiuru Business Park will connect the “golden triangle” of Auckland / Hamilton / Tauranga – with the central and eastern Bay of Plenty, driving local economic growth and opportunities.

“It will provide businesses across the eastern and western Bay of Plenty unparalleled access to international markets through direct road and rail corridors to the Port of Tauranga.”

The Rangiuru interchange will be on the Tauranga Eastern Link, about 500 metres east of the toll gantry.

RANGIURU BUSINESS PARK SUPPORTING REGIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

In 2003 Quayside Properties Ltd was established as a subsidiary of Quayside Holdings to facilitate strategic investments in the property sector that would provide social and economic benefits to the Bay of Plenty region.

Around the same time the Western Bay sub-region’s local authorities, as part of the SmartGrowth long term growth management plan, identified the future need for commercial/industrial land to the east of Tauranga to accommodate the growth of Port of Tauranga, as well as the employment growth expected from a rapidly expanding population.

A 162-hectare block of land was subsequently identified at Rangiuru, near Te Puke, for this purpose. The land is strategically placed within easy reach of the highly populous central North Island, including linkages to the Eastern Bay of Plenty, as well as providing efficient access to international markets through direct road and rail corridors to Port of Tauranga.

The political desire to future proof industrial land supply and realise a commercial opportunity saw the land purchase finalised by Quayside Properties in 2005. A three-year process followed as Quayside sponsored and funded a private plan change to rezone the land from greenfield to industrial. Final consent for the plan change was granted in 2008. The land is now deemed part of the urban limit under the Regional Policy Statement.

The $455 million Tauranga Eastern Link expressway, which would considerably reduce travelling distances from Rangiuru to the Port of Tauranga, was originally scheduled for completion by 2030 – aligning well post the establishment of the Rangiuru Business Park. However, the onset of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 saw plans for the business park delayed. At the same time, the government commenced investment in infrastructure across New Zealand to stimulate the economy. This included bringing forward construction of the TEL after it was named one of seven ‘Roads of National Significance’ and a decision was made to use a toll to fund part of the project. Construction subsequently commenced on the TEL in 2010 and it opened in August 2015.

The proposed Rangiuru Business Park is a significant strategic asset for the Bay of Plenty. The unprecedented business growth across the Western Bay sub-region over the last four years means there is strong demand for industrial land, both now and in the future. Quayside Properties is currently working with the sub-region’s local authorities and central government to put in place the required infrastructure to start developing the park. It is estimated around 4,000 jobs would be accommodated in the area.

On 31 July 2020, The Provincial Development Unit announced an $18 million grant from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) for Rangiuru Business Park.  Earthworks proudly commenced in October 2021 after a blessing by tangata whenua.  Stage 1 development now continues as we enter our second earthworks season in September 2022.
