It is known for the Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter, one of the largest industrial facilities in New Zealand.Tiwai Rocks Important Bird AreaThe rocks at the tip of Tiwai Point have been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because they are home to a breeding colony of Foveaux shags.Causeway accidentIn 1980, a vehicle with 10 people failed to take a turn on the Tiwai Point causeway, crashing through a barrier and falling into the water. Seven people died, including five who were never recovered.
