Capital’s rich built heritage to be revealed tomorrow

Delving into the history of Wellington’s heritage buildings couldn’t be easier after the launch of the Capital’s online heritage inventory.

Wellington City Council has developed an online inventory of heritage buildings listed in the District Plan. The online heritage inventory will be officially launched by Mayor Justin Lester tomorrow (Tuesday 29 November) at the Museum of Wellington’s Historic Boardroom (Queens Wharf). The event starts at 2pm.

The resource will have details for each building including history and modifications, occupation and uses, architects and builders and a statement of cultural value. The website is richly illustrated with contemporary and historic photographs, and original drawings sourced from Wellington City Archives.

The information available at the online heritage inventory will be useful for architects, planners, engineers, archaeologists, students, researchers, visitors to Wellington, building owners and businesses.
