Statistics NZ offices

Statistics NZ Wellington staff are unable to return to Statistics House, which was damaged by the severe 7.8 magnitude earthquake on 14 November 2016.

Some Statistics NZ staff moved in to a temporary office in HP House in Gilmer Tce, Wellington on Monday, 21 November. More staff will move into other floors in the same building over coming weeks.

On Friday, 25 November Statistics NZ announced it had agreed to lease its second temporary premises in Wellington. The new building is Westpac House, 318 Lambton Quay.

Statistics NZ will occupy three floors in Westpac House, which was built in the mid-1970s. Westpac House is 100 percent of building code. See Statistics NZ signs up for more space in Wellington for latest news about our accommodation.

There have been some media reports that Statistics House is to be demolished. These reports are false. With a government inquiry announced and engineering reports underway the reality is that we have no idea what the future holds for Statistics House.

We will provide further updates about the release calendar as information comes to hand.
