Auckland Council gives resource consent approval for NZICC

SkyCity Entertainment Group announced that Auckland Council has given the New Zealand International Convention Centre resource consent approval. 

The decision follows an independent board of commissioners’ determination in July that the NZICC resource consent application should proceed on a non-notified basis. 

The approval enables the company to now seek the amendments necessary to incorporate the Preliminary Design changes that were agreed with the New Zealand Government in May this year. 

 “We are working towards concluding a building works contract later this year, having already put months of work into the tender process and with strong interest from outstanding and experienced construction firms. Our objective is to turn the first sod of the New Zealand International Convention Centre before Christmas,” said CEO Nigel Morrison.

 The NZICC will be the largest purpose built convention centre in New Zealand, capable of hosting conferences of 3150 people or two concurrent events of 1,200 delegates each.
