Christchurch Convention Centre | Te Pae

The Convention Centre is a world-class venue and a cornerstone of the revitalised central city. With its 2000-person capacity, it brings events to Christchurch that we have never been able to host in the past.

Construction of the Convention Centre required around 19,000m³ of concrete, 4400 tonnes of structural steel and 43,000 façade panels.

The Convention Centre includes a 1400-delegate auditorium, a 3600m² exhibition hall and 1600m² of meeting rooms that will overlook Victoria Square.

• Auditorium for 1400 delegates (divisible into two 700-person auditoria);
• 1250 person banqueting hall;
• 14 interconnected meeting rooms for up to 1400 people;
• 4400 square metre pre-function spaces for up to 1400 people; and
• 3600 square metre multi-use exhibition hall for 200 exhibition stalls.

Insurance Valuation

Rawlinsons has completed two insurance valuations for Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, providing independent replacement cost advice for one of Christchurch’s most significant public facilities. The valuations considered the facility’s buildings, fit-out, services and other physical assets, together with the costs and escalation allowances relevant to reinstatement following a major loss. Our most recent assessment also included a depreciated replacement cost valuation to support the asset owner’s financial reporting requirements.

Delivering consecutive valuations has allowed Rawlinsons to update the assessment for current market conditions while maintaining a consistent and transparent basis of valuation. The work demonstrates our capability to assess high-value, complex and specialised public assets where replacement cost cannot be reliably determined using standard rates or broad market benchmarks alone.
