Wellington Museum Te Waka Huia o Ngā Taonga Tuko Iho has received a new seismic rating and has been assessed as an earthquake-prone building.

We’ve also received a separate risk assessment of secondary structures within the Bond Store and there are no areas of significant concern for immediate attention.
Our regulator and landlord, Wellington City Council, has issued an earthquake-prone building notice which allows seven-and-a-half years to plan and carry out remedial work.
