Drury South

The Drury South project builds Auckland’s business and employment capacity through the establishment of a 223Ha (net) industrial zone adjacent to the Drury Quarry. Zoned and serviced industrial land is essential to achieving Auckland’s social and economic objectives. Designed to specifically accommodate construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade and distribution activities, Drury South will facilitate 19,100 jobs across the Auckland region (6,900 jobs at Drury South), and a $2.3 billion per annum contribution to regional GDP.

The Drury South site is located in the Drury Basin, which is located east of the southern motorway (SH1), between the Drury interchange to the north and the Ramarama interchange to the south. The Drury quarry which is located at the base of the Hunua foothills forms the eastern edge of the site.

The Drury basin is traversed by three quarry trucking routes and four high-voltage power corridors. It is also traversed by a high-pressure gas main and Telecom’s main fibre optic cable to the south. The Waikato water pipeline and the North Island main trunk rail corridor run close to the site’s northern boundary.

The overall project area is 361Ha. 130Ha has been applied to public open space, riparian corridors, storm water treatment and management areas and roads. A further 8Ha is occupied by the existing Transpower switching/sub-station site, resulting in a net business area of approximately 223Ha. Of this area, 201Ha has been identified for industrial activities, with the remaining 22Ha proposed for supporting business uses.
