Punakaiki visitor centre will be unique in New Zealand – project manager
The new $26 million visitor centre planned for Punakaiki will be unique – with sound and light displays of a standard rarely seen in New Zealand, telling the stories of a special place.

The project includes space for a Department of Conservation information centre, a community meeting room and offices for Ngāti Waewae.
