Coca-Cola Amatil To Build New Factory Out at Airport Industrial Complex

·

Pity about the transit links though

Well I am all for decent jobs coming to South Auckland and the economic benefits they will give. This news piece from Auckland Airport yesterday certainly caught my attention.

From Auckland Airport:

Coca-Cola Amatil New Zealand to build manufacturing facility at Auckland Airport’s Business Park

16 June 2015

Coca–Cola Amatil New Zealand (CCANZ), the company that makes and sells Coca–Cola drinks and other leading beverages in New Zealand, is establishing a manufacturing operation at The Landing Business Park at Auckland Airport

The move will see Auckland Airport develop a purpose-built, high-tech, 12,000sqm warehouse to accommodate an addition to CCANZ’s manufacturing footprint.

Chris Litchfield, Managing Director of CCANZ, says the company is excited to partner with Auckland Airport on the development of this new facility.

“Auckland Airport has the ability to deliver a product which meets our specific requirements.  We need to consolidate a number of operations into one, meaning that we require a location that ticks all the boxes in terms of connectivity, security and accessible amenities,” says Mr Litchfield.

“We also value the investment that Auckland Airport has outlaid to develop the area into a world-class business park.  CCANZ is committed to producing the best quality beverages and this new facility at Auckland Airport will enable us to continue to achieve this and complements our existing manufacturing operations.”

Mark Thomson, Auckland Airport’s general manager property, says, “The move by CCANZ to Auckland Airport highlights the quality of our real estate products and our ability to tailor solutions to unique customer requirements.”

“We are focused on creating a business environment that caters to a wide range of users.  Our extensive land-holdings allow Auckland Airport to tailor bespoke solutions, not only for traditional logistics activities but also for technology users and selected manufacturers, such as CCANZ,” continues Mr Thomson.

“What remains constant in all of our developments is our emphasis on creating quality buildings within a comprehensively planned and world-class environment, as well as providing outstanding amenity for our customers and their staff.”

“CCANZ is one of the largest bottlers of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages in the Asia-Pacific with a portfolio that consists of several leading household brands.  We are thrilled that CCANZ has entrusted Auckland Airport as its property partner,” finishes Mr Thomson.

Great to see continued job opportunities in South Auckland. Pity the transport links are absolutely crap out there and the only way to really get there is by car.

Maybe Auckland Transport need to get cracking with better buses until Auckland Airport gets cracking with the Airport Rail Line once the City Rail Link is complete (2025).

Input Sought on Alcohol Ban Areas

Public Input Open

From Auckland Council:

Public input sought on Alcohol Ban areas

Auckland Council is seeking feedback from the public on alcohol ban areas under the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014.

The bylaw, a requirement under the Local Government Act, requires Auckland to review more than 1,700 existing alcohol bans by 31 October 2015 and to only retain those that meet stricter national criteria.  Any bans not reviewed by this time or without sufficient evidence to retain, will lapse.

Local Boards have been given the delegation to review the existing alcohol bans in their local board area. Additionally, council will review 17 bans on areas of regional significance including Maunga (volcanic cones) and regional facilities such as the Auckland Domain.

“The public is familiar with the concept of alcohol bans. Council has evidence on some bans that can stay in place but we need our community to let us know of any concerns regarding alcohol-related issues in other ban areas if they wish to retain them,” says Cr Calum Penrose, Chair of the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee.

Submissions open on Friday, 19 June 2015.  To keep an alcohol ban, submissions should be accompanied by evidence of crime or disorder attributed to alcohol and specific to an existing ban area.

Examples of alcohol-related crime or disorder include:

  • alcohol-related broken glass and/or litter
  • inappropriate behaviour as a result of drinking alcohol (people congregating in public places, drinking alcohol and being noisy and disruptive to neighbours
  • people drinking alcohol which leads to aggressive, intimidating or offensive behaviours towards others.
Further Information

Remaining Local Boards:

  • The remaining local boards are able to retain the key alcohol ban areas they want due to evidence gathered.  Great Barrier LB did not have an alcohol ban.
