Travel 25 kilometres south from Christchurch on the new 110 kilometre-per-hour, multi-million-dollar “road of national significance” and you’ll reach New Zealand’s fastest growing town.
Situated within the country’s fastest growing district of Selwyn, Rolleston now boasts a population over 34,000 – predicted to reach 50,000 by 2050. It is already Canterbury’s second-biggest urban area, surpassing Timaru and Ashburton.
