Green Island, New Zealand
Green Island is a suburb of Dunedin, New Zealand. Not an actual island, this former borough takes its name from the Green Island bush, uncleared native forest extending from the valley where the community is centred over the hills towards the coast. The name of the nearby offshore island — Green Island (Okaihe) — was used to identify the bush and, thus, also lent its name to the mainland suburb. Green Island suburb Under the 1989 local government reforms, the city of Dunedin and its surrounding region was grouped into a territorial authority called Dunedin City. Under this system, Green Island is officially an outer suburb within this territorial authority. Green Island is on State Highway 1, about west-southwest of the Octagon, Dunedin's city centre. Along with neighbouring Abbotsford, it is the westernmost suburb within Dunedin City's main urban area. Green Island's main economy is based on light and small scale heavy industry.
