Location

Future population and housing growth:

Hamilton currently has

~60,000 homes

~180,000 people

Projected to double in 50 years

~120,000 homes

~310,000 people

Hamilton is New Zealand’s fastest growing and fourth most populous city.

Strategic location:

  • Situated in the ‘Golden Triangle’ (Auckland–Hamilton–Tauranga), home to over 50% of NZ’s population and the source of two-thirds of recent population growth.
  • Orient Innovation Park is well-connected for freight, transport, and residential suburbs supporting future urban and economic development.
  • Close to the plethora of amenity at The Base Shopping Centre.

Transport-oriented development:

  • For the future, growth is planned along key transport corridors as set out in Hamilton’s Metro Spatial Plan (MSP). Expressway, train ‘Park and Ride’ stations,  bus rapid transit routes
  • Concentrating homes and jobs along these routes enhance public and transport options
  • Orient Innovation Park’s location benefits from this focus on integrated transport and urban planning
  • Orient Innovation Park has easy access to the Waikato Express Way network and the Hamilton-Auckland train park and ride station

Support for new growth areas:

  • As residential suburbs like the neighbouring Rotokauri grow, the Council is committed to ensuring transport networks can support multi-modal travel
  • Being a mixed-use development, Orient Innovation Park, is aligned with this strategic expansion and transport planning approach.
