Turners Road

Turners Road plays a key role in the industrial growth framework for the Manawatū District. The planned extension will unlock access to an additional 24 hectares of high-quality industrial land, a total road length of 1250m and create a vital link for a trade waste line connecting key industrial areas with the Manawatū Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The project is being delivered in stages:

Stage One - Completed
Stage One included the installation of a right-turn bay on Kawakawa Road and the construction of Turners Road from the Kawakawa Road intersection to the stormwater culvert. This stage was completed in 2024 and officially opened on Monday 26 February with contractors, consultants, Elected Members, and Council officers in attendance.
Stage Two - Scheduled for 2025
Stage Two will connect the existing section of Turners Road with the new Stage One extension, further enhancing access and connectivity within the precinct.
