Overview
The Station, Rolleston is a planned shopping centre in Rolleston, New Zealand, developed by Rolleston Industrial Holdings. According to the developers, the centre will be 1.5 times bigger than Tower Junction, Christchurch's largest bulk retail complex, making it the South Island's largest non-enclosed retail centre, with a planned area of 18 hectares (44 acres). The name was chosen to acknowledge Rolleston's early history as a railway terminal. Rolleston Industrial Holdings applied for resource consent with the Selwyn District Council in 2022. Construction was scheduled to start in 2023, but as of 2026 it has yet to happen. The development is set to have approximately 50 stores, with parking for 1,906 cars including 71 mobility bays, and 181 cycle parks. The plan also includes space for a potential park-and-ride facility and bus station, alongside Rolleston's existing city-bound railway station.
