CHRISTCHURCH


As Mayor of Christchurch I am truly excited about what our Convention Centre, Te Pae, offers to our city and to all those who come for conventions, conferences and business events. This new world-class facility is set in prime position beside the Ōtākaro Avon River at the centre of New Zealand’s oldest city, established by Royal Charter in 1856, which now has become New Zealand’s newest city.

Our regeneration has provided opportunities to enhance our reputation as a great business events destination. It’s allowed us to be innovative, to push creative boundaries and look at collaborative partnerships that will ensure our city, all our residents and visitors benefit now and into the future.

We’ve always prided ourselves on being a great host city. However, our reinvention has enabled us to offer so much more, which positions us as a world-class destination for business events. On top of that we are also New Zealand’s international gateway to the South Island with all that it has to offer our guests.

So welcome to Ōtautahi – Christchurch – we look forward to hosting your next Convention at Te Pae.

An inspired design for a modern, regenerating city

DESIGN

Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre’s world-class design reflects the natural beauty and unique culture of the Canterbury region.

Inspired by the Māori creation story – and designed in collaboration with region’s local iwi Ngāi Tahu – the building pays homage to Canterbury’s iconic waterways, snow-capped mountains and flat, open plains. The exterior’s 43,000 façade tiles and floor to ceiling windows reflect the fluidity and curves of Canterbury’s braided rivers, while the building’s interiors reflect the diverse culture, community and values of our city.

Te Pae Christchurch was shortlisted for a 2017 World Architecture Festival Award – Culture: Future Projects.

Our name, ‘Te Pae’ draws inspiration from several phrases in Te Reo Māori:

Te Pae Maunga – our mountain views.

The source of our origin and central to our land and people, Mountains are a key element on the Southern landscape, just as Te Pae is a central point within our city.

Te Pae Whenua – the vast plains we inhabit.

With our strong ties to mountains and the rivers and plains they create, it is only natural this influence can be found in the building’s design, where shapes and lines represent the contours of our Southern Alps and braided rivers of Canterbury.

Te Pae Tangata – a place to meet and converse.

To talk, to be hosted, to share, entertain and inform… for Christchurch, Te Pae is a gathering place.
