About Northport
Northport owns private buried reticulation across its Marsden Point / Ruakākā deep-water port on controlled-access land. All contractors must complete the Northport induction before work — contact the port directly for permits.
Their assets sit underground across their service area, alongside other utility networks.

Most building or landscaping work in this area touches multiple operators' networks at once - power, water and communications cables routinely share the same trench.
