This is the 20th project to be approved under the Fast-track process and the seventh project in the South Island, Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop and Regional Development Minister Shane Jones announced today.
Ngāi Tahu Property Development Holdings (NTP Development Holdings Limited) lodged a substantive application in July 2025 for the Pound Road industrial land development.
Approval has taken around seven months since the expert panel commenced, including approximately three months of suspension.
“Pound Road involves subdividing land and developing industrial lots on a 60.4‑hectare site northwest of Pound Road and east of Barters Road, Christchurch,” Mr Bishop says.
“The project will deliver industrial lots ranging from about 2,000 square metres to 1.5 hectares, with around 50 lots in the first stage and 84 lots across the full site.”
