Following the closure of Holcim's Cape Foulwind cement plant in Westport, New Zealand, the plant site and its 400ha of land are for sale. The 60-year old Holcim plant is due to close 30 June 2016 as the company plans to import cement to two new terminals at Auckland and Timaru.
The assets available as part of the sale include a quarry, packing plant site, water treatment plant, farm land, staff housing area and ground lease and wharf silos at the Westport harbour. Potential buyers are able to express interest in either part or all of the portfolio.
Holcim intends that the majority of the site be demolished to ground level, leaving five building for industrial or office use. For existing industrial activity all zoning and consents are in place.
The period for expression of interest ends 14 July.
