Carrots to Sydney?
Shipping Waimarino carrots to Sydney via the blue water port of Wanganui was put forward as a possible future scenario by representatives of the group working on development plans for the port. The Port Promotion
Group made a presentation to the Ruapehu District Council at their last meeting, aimed at informing councillors of the details of the proposal to develop a deep water port at Wanganui. Among advantages to Ruapehu would be the
increased viability of forestry in the area with reduced transport costs through Wanganui, the possibility of direct trade to the east coast of Australia, and the development of a WanganuiNelson- Picton ferry service.
