The Ryans Road Industrial Development in Christchurch, which will see 126 industrial lots built on a 57.6 hectare site, has been consented through the Government’s Fast-track scheme.
Carter Group Limited lodged its application in April 2025 for the Ryans Road Development. Approval has taken around nine months following the commencement of the expert panel, including approximately four months of suspension.
“Ryans Road covers 57.6 hectares at 104 Ryans Road, Harewood, near Christchurch International Airport. It would enable the development of an industrial subdivision of 126 freehold industrial lots along with supporting infrastructure such as roads, water servicing utilities and landscaping”, said Infrastructure Minister, Chris Bishop.
“The development is expected to support 755 construction sector full-time equivalent jobs (across the build periods), injecting approximately $259 million of GDP into the Christchurch economy.
“The project is intended to help address demand for industrial land in Canterbury -particularly for businesses that benefit from proximity to the airport, such as logistics, warehousing and light manufacturing.
“The Ryans Road development is another example of bringing forward well-located industrial land that can support growth and productivity in our cities.”
