CID is leading the delivery of MPI’s new Plant Health and Environment Capability (PHEC) facility in Mt Albert, Auckland – a critical investment in New Zealand’s biosecurity and horticultural export future.
The facility will double MPI’s capacity to process and contain imported plant material and includes PC2/PC3 laboratories, a PC3 greenhouse and a workplace hub.
Detailed Design was approved in May 2025 and a Tender Contract Price proposal is currently being evaluated for the Main Works construction contract. A separate Enabling Works construction contract will be completed in June 2025 which comprises site establishment, preparation of the building construction platform and installation of building piles.
The Implementation Business Case (ImBC) is currently under final development, with ministerial approval expected in August 2025. Main Works commenced under a Letter of Intent in late June 2025 in parallel with the Implementation Business Case approval process.
