Southland has a range of options for developing businesses with land available for purchase, and options for renting also. Central office space, manufacturing space and warehouse space is available at relatively low costs. For those requiring purpose built facilities, the building industry is well regulated with excellent local architects and engineers to support the design phase. Invercargill City Council owns land at Awarua – between Invercargill and the Port of Bluff – where an industrial park is being developed.
