Queens Wharf is one of the busiest parts of the waterfront and the primary symbolic entry to the waterfront through the Queens Wharf heritage gates. Developments since the 1980s have seen its heritage buildings rejuvenated and given new life.

Current development proposals and projects include:

Hilton Hotel proposal

Resource consent to build a new Hilton Hotel on the outer-T of Queens Wharf was granted by the Greater Wellington Regional Council in September 2006. Five appeals were lodged with the Environment Court and a hearing began on 30 July 2007 which, after an adjournment was completed on Wednesday 18 October.  

On Friday 14 March 2008 the Environment Court released its decision - to not uphold the resource consent.  The applicant, Waterfront Investments Limited, have decided not to appeal this decision.  Accordingly, this proposal will no longer proceed.

Redevelopment of Shed 6/TSB Bank Arena

Master planning for the long-term future of this area of Queens Wharf has been programmed. Keep checking this website for updates and progress reports.
