Both glasshouses will have steel ties installed internally with new laminated glass and stronger code compliant aluminium glazing bars placed on the roofs.
Expected to take 18 months, the work will boost post tension strengthening work of the Tropical House chimney stack in 2003.
Auckland Domain Committee chair and Auckland councillor Desley Simpson said only one glasshouse would be worked on at a time so Aucklanders could still take in the beauty of the exotic plants.
“It is great to be able to not just allow Aucklanders to enjoy the Wintergardens as they were first intended, but also to make improvements, so that they will cope better with the challenges of seismic and climate change risks.
"It is about being faithful to the heritage of the buildings and finding sympathetic solutions to deal with these risks.”
The renovations will see the timber joinery repaired and repainted.
They include installing larger gutters and additional rainwater pipes as well as changing the roofs' opaque glass to the original design of clear glass.

Auckland Council is forecast to take a 1 billion dollar revenue hit because of COVID-19.
This 10-year budget aims to find a balance between investing in our city and not overburdening our residents.
It will provide for our city’s future while keeping our rates increases low compared to other growth cities in New Zealand, will help Auckland’s economy recover, support our communities, build water and housing infrastructure and improve our transport network.
We need your feedback on these issues and how we pay for them.
