With
the initial development (Phase One) now complete, the Council is now
busy implementing Phase Two - developing the remaining land ready for
more eager buyers and investors.
"Businesses
are thinking about their next strategic step and what smart investments
they need to make for their future. This is seeing scores of enquiries
into what is available at the Business Estate," Council Business Support
Group Manager Paul Brake says.
"We're rapidly progressing this next phase, and are already in discussions with a number of interested parties."
The Council is currently working with civil engineers to develop the land.
Organisations
such as EA Networks and McIntosh Group were some of the first to invest
in the opportunities at the Business Estate.
They
are joined by Ray Mayne Hose & Fittings Ltd; Kaipak Ltd; Precision
Cutting & Processing Ltd; Tricroft Holdings; WaterForce; NPD Fuel
Stop; Canterbury Long Run Roofing; Fineboon – NZ Dairy Collaborative;
Cullimore Engineering; Skip-2-It Flooring Xtra; Fonterra; Replas;
Midlands; Midlands Apiaries; Lemacon; Mainland Coachworks Ltd; Active
Print & Production; Sebco; Plains Irrigators; Quigley Feeds NZ; and
Hallmark Surgical.
Aside from
its optimal position next to State Highway One, and its close proximity
to Christchurch airport, rail and shipping port facilities, the
Ashburton Business Estate offers some of the lowest industrial-rated
land prices in the region.
The
Council is also able to provide flexible solutions for business needs -
whether they wish to design and build, or build and lease back. The size
and shape of the sites can also be customised to meet specifications.
