Todd Park

The Todd Park motor assembly plant at Porirua operated from 1973 to 1998. At its peak it employed 1,500 workers and produced 22,000 cars a year. The plant covered 33 hectares on a site overlooking the city. In the early 2000s, Mitsubishi Motors used part of the facility to recycle used parts.
