Aberahama said the police station will be operational at Mahia from mid-December and will be formally opened in mid-January 2020 by Minister of Police Stuart Nash, whose Napier electorate includes Mahia Peninsula.
He said the new station has been a work in progress over the past couple of years with the growth of Mahia's population.
The permanent population of Mahia Peninsula is about 1000, but it swells to as much as 15,000 at the peak of the Christmas-New Year holiday season, while there have also been influxes for the rocket launches which started with test flights in May 2017.
The change will better service the area, Aberahama said, adding: "Over the last 10 years, 50 per cent of demand for police in the area was in Mahia."
A blessing of the Mahia site was taking place at 8am, and the station building was expected to arrive on-site in Mahia about midday.
Nuhaka and main-highway users through the area will have access to police through a phone to be placed on the outside wall of the fire Station in Nuhaka, providing a direct link to the Police Communications Centre.
