Invest in Westhaven
Rolleston's premier
residential opportunity
A growing district with strong demand
More and more people are choosing to move to Rolleston, and that growth is set to continue. Selwyn’s population is expected to increase significantly over the coming decades, growing from around 85,000 residents today to between 140,000 and 180,000 by the early 2050s. This sustained growth is driving demand for housing, particularly in Rolleston, which has become a major urban centre within Selwyn. With population growth concentrated in Selwyn, the need for sections in well-located, masterplanned communities will continue to increase.
Strong foundations for long-term value
Selwyn’s appeal is grounded in strong fundamentals. Its proximity to Christchurch, combined with transport links and digital connectivity, makes it an increasingly attractive place to live and invest. The district is also home to a mix of research, tertiary education and primary industry. With Lincoln University and a strong network of research organisations, Selwyn is well positioned to support innovation, economic growth and job creation. A strong culture of enterprise, alongside continued business investment, is creating opportunities for people to live and work locally, reinforcing long-term confidence in the district.
