flag New Zealand is building a new Plant Health and Environment Laboratory in Auckland to replace its aging facility, with construction underway and completion expected by 2028. flag The $7 billion infrastructure project, led by Crown Infrastructure Delivery and Southbase Construction, aims to strengthen biosecurity by improving surveillance, diagnostics, and emergency response. flag The lab, set to open in January 2029, will protect the country’s $60.4 billion food and fibre sector—responsible for 82% of exports—and support the government’s goal to double export value by 2034. flag The facility will help address growing threats from climate change and increased global trade.
