The Venue
The Wharewaka Function Centre, is conveniently located in the heart of Wellington, New Zealand. The Centre offers state of the art facilities and the room hosting our meeting is the Matiu Room, located on the first floor. The Matiu Room offers open spaces and natural light from floor to ceiling windows.
The rooms also accommodate excellent audio-visual facilities to enable seamless presentations supported by the technical team.
Commonly referred to now as Te Wharewaka, this building was given the official name of 'Te Raukura' at an opening dawn Ceremony on Waitangi Day, Sunday 6 February 2011. 'Te Raukura' is of special significance to descendants from Taranaki iwi of Te Atiawa, Taranaki, Ngati Ruanui, Ngati Tama and Ngati Mutunga. Previously the area where the building is located was harbour frontage to Te Aro Pā, one of the largest Māori communities in Wellington up until the 1880s. The building sees the re-establishment of a Māori presence on Taranaki Wharf, notably absent on the waterfront since that time.
