Introduction

Offering 6000m² of exhibitions, meetings and hospitality space, Auckland's Viaduct Events Centre is a stand-alone, multi-purpose events centre to be built on the Halsey Street extension wharf, at the Viaduct Harbour. The centre will be ready for use by August 2011.

With spectacular views to the Waitemata Harbour, it will be minutes' walk from some of Auckland's best accommodation and entertainment offerings, as well as the city centre and public transport services.

It will enable better public access to and use of the waterfront. The centre will also provide infrastructural support for major events taking place in the waterfront.At the same time, the marine and fishing industry will be able to continue to operate from the wharf.

The building's preliminary design has been endorsed by the council's urban design panel, and resource consents submitted to Auckland Regional Council have been approved.

The facility will be built to a five star environmental standard creating an impressive addition to Auckland's vibrant Viaduct Harbour precinct.
