Forming the South East point of the high-growth area known as the \u2018Golden Triangle\u2019 \u2013 incorporating Auckland and Waikato \u2013 the Bay of Plenty region has good rail and road access to and from the Port and beyond.<\/p><p>The region\u2019s freight and logistics infrastructure has been boosted even further in the past three years with the development of the Kawerau container terminal and associated off-road highway, along with the development of the Rangiuru Business Park in Western Bay of Plenty. Supported by more than 220km of railway, the region is the most densely used of the entire country\u2019s national rail network, ensuring product can get to and from the Port of Tauranga quickly and efficiently, and avoiding the need to connect through Auckland.<\/p><p>The region\u2019s natural geothermal resources also provide a stable low-carbon energy source for manufacturing and other production \u2013 particularly in Kawerau and Taup\u014d &#8211; offering a competitive advantage for industries in key parts of the region.<\/p><p>For an overview of opportunities in each sub-region and contact details click the tiles below.
