Photography

Please note that this gala event will have an event and a winner/finalist portrait photographer present to capture this special night. They will be taking photos of our winners, speakers, and attendees throughout the celebrations.

These images will be available once editing is completed to the winners, and finalists, and may be used for post promoting the event, and future promotions for future awards or other events by NAWIC across social media platforms, and our website. With such a large number of people at an event like this we are not able to avoid taking photos of individuals who don't wish to have their photo taken or published later.

Whilst it is exciting when your finalist receives an award, we ask that your party remains in the banquet room out of respect for other award recipients, there will be time for group photos after the awards.

Local Wellington Chapter Events Invitation

Site Visit: Wellington Town Hall Restrengthening

Friday 19 July
Meet at: 1pm
Wellington Town Hall

Ahead of the NAWIC Excellence Awards 2024, join NAWIC members on a tour of one Wellington's most iconic buildings

Te Whare Whakarauika, the Wellington Town Hall is a Category 1 Heritage listed building and is nearly 120 years old. It has been closed to the public since 2013, when it was deemed earthquake prone.

The seismic strengthening and redevelopment of the Wellington Town Hall has now reached an important part in the construction programme with the majority of seismic strengthening works coming to an end. So far, a base isolation system to reduce seismic loads and improve resilience has been retrofitted, alongside a new foundation system to accommodate the base isolation and further improve the inadequate foundation system that originally supported the building.

Main Contractor: Naylor Love

Numbers are limited and registrations required. A ticket must be purchased through Humanitix.
