Investment

Aoraki / South Canterbury is an exciting, progressive region for business. Easy access to national and international markets through the Port of Timaru, Prime Port Timaru gives businesses an edge for commercial success over other New Zealand provincial cities, with a land area of 13,623 square kilometres, and a population of 53,540.

Geographically, Aoraki is located in the middle of the South Island on the east coast, two hours drive south of Christchurch, and two hours drive north of Dunedin. Aoraki is comprised of three districts: Timaru, Mackenzie and Waimate District. Timaru is ideally placed for manufacturing, processing and distributing goods worldwide with a deep water port, air services to New Zealand’s capital city Wellington, and excellent road and rail networks travelling, north, south and inland.

Traditionally, farming has been the backbone to Aoraki. As more businesses take advantage of the very competitive operational rates, proximity to export markets and lifestyle, successful industrial, manufacturing, textile, financial, aqua, horticultural and agricultural businesses can all be found in Aoraki.
