Friends of Karori Cemetery: Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours
Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours
The Wellington Provincial Centennial Building at Petone is the result of a 1930's building programme to mark the 100th centenary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
The building was originally designed with a 'Hall of Memories' and mens and womens bathing changing rooms.
In 1977 it was converted to the Petone Settlers' Museum. The building underwent a major refurbishment in 2016.
So why not make a weekend of it? Visit the Musuem and then come on one of our tours to hear about some more about the early Wellingtonians on Monday 23rd January:
- City Builders 10:30am
- Catholics Tales 11:00am
Tickets are $10 per person, children under 12 are free.

⏰Update on Court Proceedings
Our High Court hearing is scheduled for 12-14 May. As part of this process, Wellington Airport, Airways, and the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority were due to file their witness statements by Monday, 31 March. These statements were received as late as Friday 4 April, PM.
This follows a similar delay in December, when key documents expected on 6 December were received over two weeks later, right before the Christmas break.
Each delay reduces the preparation time available to our pro bono legal and volunteer expert team.
Large corporations have time and money on their side to delay, but that's nothing compared to having the strength of community and integrity.
