Conference
Venue
The
Conference will be held at Parliament, situated in the centre of
Wellington and within minutes walk to banks, hotels, shops and
restaurants.
New Zealand Parliament has four buildings: Parliament House, the
Parliamentary Library, the Executive Wing (also
known
as Beehive), and Bowen House. These buildings are a part of our
national heritage and the centre of our democracy. The Conference
will be using rooms in Parliament House and the Executive Wing.
Parliament House is an Edwardian neo-classical building and was
designed by architects John Campbell and Claude Paton, to replace
the previous building that was destroyed by fire in 1907. The
'Beehive', designed by British architect Basil Spence, is the
popular name for the Executive Wing of the parliamentary complex
because of the building's shape. This is where the Prime Minister
and Cabinet Ministers have offices, and where the Cabinet
meets.
