REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT The new 6600sqm facility in Trentham, Upper Hutt, has been designed for seismic resilience and sustainability, targeting a 5-Star Green Star rating. The oldest specimen in the collection is a hoki, caught in Wellington Harbour | TeWhanganui-a-Tara in 1869. In addition to specialised collection storage, the new facility will include purpose-built laboratories and research spaces. As well as being New Zealand’s number one tourist attraction, Te Papa is a major research facility, and cares for over two million collection items across natural history, art, mātauranga Māori, history and culture. Te Papa receives $44 million annually from government for baseline funding and must earn a further $38 million annually from commercial activities, partnerships and philanthropy.
