What began as a long-term vision for the Bay of Plenty is now becoming a reality on the ground.

Over the past year, Rangiuru Business Park reached a significant milestone, transitioning from major infrastructure delivery to active use. With the motorway interchange open, Stage 1 roads and utilities in place, the first sites sold and vertical builds emerging, the business park is starting to demonstrate the role it can play in supporting regional economic growth and future investment.

The development reflects the power of long-term thinking, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to outcomes that extend beyond financial returns. The 2026 Annual Report feature article explores the people behind the project, from local contractors and consultants to mana whenua, whose contribution has helped shape a development with lasting cultural, environmental and economic significance.

At the heart of that story is the partnership with Tapuika. Together, Quayside and Tapuika are working to embed cultural identity throughout the development, from road naming and public art through to environmental restoration and opportunities for employment and training.

The feature also highlights the remarkable progress of Te Haukōpūpū wetlands. More than 360,000 eco-sourced native plants have been established, biodiversity is increasing, and rare native bird species are returning to an area designed to provide the practical function of a stormwater pond, while also reconnecting the landscape with its natural history.

Rangiuru Business Park demonstrates how partnership and long-term stewardship can be woven into the fabric of a major regional asset, creating a place that honours the stories of the past while supporting prosperity for future generations.
