Local Population

Rolleston has grown exponentially during the past two decades due to its diverse lifestyle opportunities and suitably priced properties. Built on stable alluvial soils its growth has outstripped the national average and last year the Selwyn District was named the fastest growing territorial authority in New Zealand by BERL.

Selwyn is blessed with a low unemployment rate yet a high available labour force rate, this is because many residents currently commute to Christchurch but are actively seeking work closer to home.

Statistics Per 2006 Census Data For Local Area

It has been calculated that around 200,000 people live within a half an hour's drive from Izone, ensuring that businesses that locate here have access to a large and stable work-force.
