New Zealand Historic Places Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Zealand Historic Places Trust is a non-profit trust which advocates for the protection of heritage buildings in New Zealand. It was set up through the Historic Places Act 1954 with a mission to "...promote the identification, protection, preservation and conservation of the historical and cultural heritage of New Zealand.".
It is governed by a Board of Trustees (which is currently chaired by Dame Anne Salmond) and a Māori Heritage Council. The national trust office is located in Antrim House, Wellington, while regional and area offices are located in Kerikeri, Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.
It publishes the quarterly magazine New Zealand Heritage.
Buildings owned by the trust include the Mission House, the Stone Store, and the Te Waimate mission house.
The register of historic places is divided in four main areas:
- Historic Places
- Historic Areas
- Wahi Tapu (Māori sacred sites)
- Wahi Tapu Areas
The historic places are organised in either of two categories:
- Category I - "...places of ‘special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value"
- Category II - "...places of ‘historical or cultural heritage significance or value"
- SAHANZ (Society of Architectural Historians of Australia and New Zealand)
- Historic Places Trust (official website)
