Waikanae Pop-Up
The Waikanae Pop-Up is a temporary space where local businesses can showcase their talent in the heart of the town centre. Whether you're a local manufacturer looking for a space to trial new ideas, or want to work with other local businesses to showcase a range of products, the Waikanae Pop-Up could be the space you need.
Site works are underway, with site expected to open in February 2025.
Council purchased the property at 56–62 Main Road, Waikanae, in September 2023 to support future strategic development opportunities in the Waikanae Town Centre.
After talking to the Waikanae Business Association and members of the local community, Council engaged local architect Rosalind Derby to develop a concept plan for the site to make the most of opportunity, recognise the importance of the site and its connection to its environment.
The pop-up space will include:
- six modified shipping containers, three of which will be available for bookings
- an accessible unisex toilet and small kitchen facility
- a green space.
