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.
