In 1937, work started on construction of the Ohakea Air Force Base in anticipation it would be home to 30 Vickers Wellington bombers.

The outbreak of World War II meant the bombers were never delivered but that didn’t stop Ohakea being repurposed to train fighter pilots, navigators and air gunners.

More than 80 years later the base continues to train Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) aviators and it continues to grow and boost the Manawatū economy.

Similarly, Linton Military Camp started with tents and prefabricated buildings in 1942 and has since grown to become New Zealand’s largest military camp.

Together, with the New Zealand Defence Force Hokowhitu Campus, Ohakea and Linton are estimated to generate $502 million worth of economic impact to region*.

Nearly 4000 people are employed in the Manawatū and their salaries and wages total about $235m, accounting for over 7 per cent of salaries and wages in the region.

Along with the tertiary institutions, the Defence Force bases bring a lot of younger people to the region – the average age of the 2000 enlisted personnel at Linton is 27.

The investment is ramping up.

At Linton the sod has been turned on the state-of-the-art $47m Linton Maintenance Facility, which will be completed in 2023. The facility will service vehicles and plant.

At RNZAF Base Ohakea, $250m worth of work is being carried out upgrading the base, including complex hangars for the arrival of the new Boeing P-8A Poseidon surveillance and maritime patrol aircraft.

Nearly 1000 people work at Ohakea and when No. 5 Squadron shifts from Whenuapai to operate the Boeings, that will increase to 1200 by 2023 – providing a boost to local businesses, sports teams and community groups. Together, with the New Zealand Defence Force Hokowhitu Campus, Ohakea and Linton are estimated to generate $502 million worth of economic impact to region*.”

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern turned the sod at the new $47m Linton Maintenance Facility earlier this year.
