Kōpū Marine Precinct opening

Kōpū Marine Servicing and Business Precinct was officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Winston Peters, and Hon Shane Jones, Minister for Regional Development on June 21. 

The $15.3 million facility will provide a vital boost to the district’s marine servicing industry – likely to attract fleets from as far afield as Auckland, Whangārei, the Waikato and the Bay of Plenty for servicing or in-water maintenance.  

It’s estimated that the Kōpū Marine Precinct could bring economic returns of up to $58.5 million over the next 30 years. It brings fresh opportunities to the boat repair and maintenance, aquaculture, trade and transport industries.
