Your new unit at iZONE has the slab down, the seal cured, and not one line on it yet. First-time layouts like that are most of what our line marking crews get called out to in Rolleston. Group One New Zealand runs the work from a base on Foremans Road in Islington, Christchurch, and Sydney Chappell founded the New Zealand company in 2026. Tell us the site address and a rough bay count or floor area, and we will come out and take a look. Site visits go in the diary between 7am and 3pm on weekdays.
If the seal is down and the surface has never carried a line, what you need first is a layout, not a paint job. Rolleston produces more of those than anywhere else we work. The town is the fastest-growing in New Zealand, at roughly 34,100 people, and it adds about 4% a year while the country manages 0.7%. Most of its houses went up between 2010 and 2019, and Acland Park and Faringdon keep adding to that. iZONE Southern Business Hub, New Zealand’s largest business park, turns out warehouses and yards that arrive bare.
What we set out on those sites:
Re-marks still come through, mostly from the retail and hospitality frontages around Rolleston Square where bays wear out faster than anything on an industrial site.

Pricing is on quote, because nobody can cost a car park honestly from a phone description. What the quote is built from:
On bare seal the preparation is light but the design work is real, because there is nothing to copy. A trading car park reverses that: the layout is already decided, and the effort goes into lifting the old paint and working around vehicles.
Three stages carry the job: design, manufacture, installation. Consultation runs through all of them, so nothing gets set out that you have not seen.
Design starts on your site with a tape measure. We take the area, the falls and the surface, then draw a layout around the vehicles and foot traffic you actually have. On a new warehouse that means asking what the forklifts will do before the racking arrives. Manufacture covers the stencils, numbering and custom markings for your layout. Installation is the day itself: preparation, removal or covering of any old lines, then application. The crew tells you on site how long to keep traffic off, because the cure window shifts with the paint, the surface and the weather.
Rolleston sits inland on the plains, so the Alps set its weather. Summer brings hot dry north-westerly winds down off the ranges onto the flat. That wind is the one to plan around: it lifts overspray, ruins a clean edge, and skins paint before it has settled.
Winter is often cold, with overnight frosts a frequent occurrence, and southerlies occasionally push snow onto the plains with hard frosts behind them. Frosted or damp seal is not a surface to lay paint on. We book a day and a window rather than an hour, and if a morning would give you a finish you would not accept, we say so and move it.
Where a forklift and a person share a floor, the paint is doing safety work. Walkthrough lanes, forklift paths and marked storage zones are among the cheapest controls a workplace can put in, and they help in minimising work-related accidents.
Anything in the road corridor, on a public street or across a vehicle crossing sits with Selwyn District Council. Check with them before the layout is fixed and we will mark to what they allow. Inside your own boundary, the layout is yours to decide.

Most of what we set out around here has never carried a line before, and the New Zealand company is not much older than the slabs: Sydney Chappell founded Group One New Zealand in 2026. The experience behind it is stated by the company itself, and stated as Australian: “Although Group 1 Line Marking has just started here in New Zealand, as a group we have been operating in Australia for almost 25 years.” Day to day it is a small team running out of Foremans Road in Islington, with the most current line marking tools and equipment plus environmentally safe products, and every job backed by our commitment to 100% client satisfaction. The full range and credentials sit on our page.
If the seal is fresh and the fencing has not come down yet, that is a good time to talk. A layout drawn before the tenants move in beats one squeezed around parked cars.

Call 027 424 0600 to Request a Free QuoteWe do. Our crews work out of Islington in Christchurch and cover Rolleston and the wider Selwyn district, with the service area running from Amberley in the north to Timaru in the south. Phone or email us and we book a site visit.
That is a large share of the Rolleston work. We measure the site, design the layout around your vehicle and pedestrian flows, then mark it.
Markings in the road corridor are Selwyn District Council’s call, so that question goes to them first. Once it is settled, we mark to what they allow.
Usually, yes. Car parks are often marked in sections, so tell us which hours are quietest and which rows can be closed off, and the layout is staged to suit.
Yes. Line marking in Christchurch runs from the same base.
It is quoted per site. Area, surface condition, preparation, layout complexity and access all move the figure, which is why we look at the site first.
