Our job is to turn a vision into reality and we are doing just that for Powell Transport, Pukekohe’s local trusted rural produce transport operators that have been in business for over 30 years.

Powell Transport provides a valuable transportation service to all the market gardeners around the Franklin area, picking up, packaging and delivering their fresh produce for both our domestic market and to the port in Auckland for export.  They have been operating their business out of the same small depot on Nelson Street in Pukekohe for over 30 years and have long-since outgrown this, finding it more and more difficult to navigate the streets of Pukekohe with their large trucks.  After an exhaustive and unrewarding search for a block of Business Zoned land to move to, they settled on a block of rural land near Puni. 

In 2015 TSC set about preparing a Resource Consent application to enable Powell Transport to relocate their business to Puni.  This was lodged in 2016 and was put through a rigorous Planning enquiry that involved full Public Notification and a hearing.  After four years of hard work, we were delighted to receive approval from the Council in May 2019.  Since then our Engineers and Surveyors have been working with a local Civil Contracting business to transform the site to construct a large Warehouse that will be used for packing fresh produce, a Workshop for maintaining their trucks and an office block to manage the business from.

This project has been many years in the making and we are excited to be nearing completion in early 2021.
