Welcome to the Timaru Directory

Recently Timaru celebrated 150 years as the centre of business in the Central South Island. The Timaru Directory is also the first business directory that was built along a chain of SH1 Business Directories. More recently Temuka, Ashburton, Oamaru, Christchurch, Dunedin and Southland businesses have been added and a comprehensive SH1 directory is now being compiled.

These directories are simple to use, as you can find phone numbers and addresses by name in each town, or you can search by business category and find businesses all along State Highway One along with their own business card.

The 'Timaru Directory News'

I have been writing letters to the Editor of the Timaru Herald for some 30 years now and in that time I have covered a large variety of subjects. The time has come for me to put my writing skills to more productive use by publishing a news publication that will promote and motivate the people of Timaru. There is a need in the district for a locally owned news publication that will uplift and inspire people rather than make them feel depressed. You can read what I have to say on my blog

About the Timaru Directory

Since the turn of the century many New Zealand towns have been celebrating 150 years of European Settlement. The first thing the Government did some 150 years ago was to build a road through the centre of New Zealand and they called it State Highway One.

As the early pioneers settled on the land new towns were built along State Highway One. Port Chalmers near Dunedin and Akaroa near Christchurch were the two main shipping ports and the 4 main towns that were built between those shipping ports were Oamaru, Timaru, Temuka and Ashburton.

Timaru became the biggest town because it was the half way point between Dunedin and Christchurch. Many Hotels and accommodation lodgings were built in Timaru as well as a shipping port and the town eventually became a City.

The building of this website is to promote the City of Timaru together with its neighbouring rural towns like Oamaru, Temuka and Ashburton and the cities along SH1.

We are so glad you came to this site to witness our work as we build a number of online phone books and feature many things of interest that you will find along State Highway One.
