Transport

Manukau offers a key strategic location for businesses with strong transport links to the rest of the Auckland region, New Zealand and the world.

Major industrial areas and business parks are close to:

• Auckland International Airport
• The main rail line
• Two state highways
• A local roading network.

The main future priorities for Manukau’s transport network are a large investment in roading and making public transport a viable alternative to the car.

• The creation of the southern section of the western ring route motorway
• A second Manukau Harbour crossing
• Bringing rail into Manukau city centre.

In addition, four international submarine cable systems span the Pacific Ocean linking Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and the US mainland.
