Oamaru's Whitestone Cheese factory is about to double its production capacity and become the town’s latest tourist attraction as demand for specialty cheese increases. Whitestone has bought a property next door to its Humber St site to create 1100sq m of additional factory space. A large shed was being built over the new site and would be filled with production equipment when demand required it. Mr Berry said the expansion showed production was still possible in the regions, despite Cadbury’s choice to cut 350 jobs in Dunedin in mid-February.
