A planned $3 billion inland port in Otago hopes to support soaring freight volumes in the region.
Construction of the Milburn Quadrant, north of Milton, is expected to start within two years.
It comes as forecasts predict freight volumes from Central and South Otago are expected to grow 30-40% over the next decade.
Project Developer Mark Johnston told Mike Hosking the development will include a 55-hectare inland port, offering freight storage and connected to the South Island鈥檚 main trunk rail line.
He says it will be similar to Hamilton's Ruakura inland port and offer land for other industrial development.
