Background

The Applicant is a New Zealand company ultimately owned by NZX-listed Stride Property Limited and a group of international institutional investors.

The land is currently used for occasional coarse grazing of animals and as a laydown yard for temporary storage of equipment and vehicles.

The Applicant will use the land to develop into a commercial, industrial and logistics complex comprising approximately 30 lots to be leased or sold to industrial, manufacturing and logistics operators.

The main benefits to New Zealand are likely to include increased jobs, additional investment for development purposes, promotion of development of the Waikato Region, and promotion of economic competitiveness. The investment is also likely to advance government’s regional development policies.  

Consent was granted as the Applicant has met the investor test criterion and because the benefit likely to occur as a result of the investment will result in benefit to New Zealand.
