Ceremonies at the National War Memorial

In 2020 a detailed seismic assessment report was completed on the National War Memorial Building. Based on this report, the decision was made to temporarily close the building as the building was deemed earthquake prone.  

However, following new engineering advice received in 2023 and new guidance from MBIE, the Hall of Memories is now open for commemorations and ceremonies.
