Forestry and Wood Processing

The Taupō District is a hub for forestry and wood processing, supported by vast plantation forests spanning over 200,000 hectares and advanced processing facilities for export logs, engineered timber and bioenergy fuels. Taupō is situated within the Central North Island Forestry Zone, which accounts for a third of the total forestry plantations in New Zealand. The region’s strategic location enables efficient export through nearby ports, making it a vital contributor to New Zealand’s timber exports.

Power in Numbers

The region's proximity to raw materials and access to transport networks position Taupō as a strategic hub for investment opportunities including expanding engineered wood product manufacturing, value-added processing, and bioenergy initiatives. As global markets shift towards sustainable building materials and renewable energy sources, Taupō’s forestry and wood processing sectors are positioned to capitalise on the increasing demand for eco-friendly timber solutions.
