Economics Minister visits Waitakere City film set
The Minister of Economic Development visited Waitakere recently for a look around the set of the movie he helped to secure for New Zealand.
Jim Anderton made a point of visiting the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe set at the Waitakere City-owned film studios in Henderson Valley Road and the Air Force hangars at Hobsonville Airbase.
He played a key role in making sure the film came to New Zealand, through the government’s tax incentive scheme.
The multi-million dollar film by Disney and Walden Production employs up to 500 people.
Later in the day, he discussed general
business issues with prominent Waitakere business players
including Peter Babich, Graeme Douglas, John Barnett (South
Pacific Pictures), Julie Salthouse (Salthouse Marine), Mark
Gunton (Westland Developments), Tim Livingstone (accountant)
and Murray Spearman (CEO of the
Trusts).
