Some of Northland’s dairy exports are now heading overseas through the region’s own port in a trial involving Fonterra and Kotahi, New Zealand’s largest containerised freight manager.

The hearing into Northport’s Resource Consent application concluded on Tuesday this week

If, as the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child” then Meridian Energy’s proposed  Ruakākā Energy Park can certainly count the local business community as willing villagers.

Northland businesses wanting to move freight now have the option of a new weekly container shipping service linking Marsden Point with Tauranga, Auckland and Lyttelton.

Cruise passengers have been delighted by the range of activities on offer in and around Whangārei and local businesses have declared the 2024 ‘mini’ cruise season, spanning February and March, a success.

It's a beautiful day here at Marsden Point and pretty much right across Northland.
