Anchored by the whenua and driven by local aspiration
The Punangairi Visitor Experience Centre in Punakaiki | Dolomite Point is the result of a decade-long process and a collaborative vision to revitalise one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most iconic tourism destinations while strengthening the cultural presence and economic well-being of Ngāti Waewae.
Part of a broader redevelopment initiative, Punangairi replaces dated and inadequate facilities with an award-winning architecturally designed space that serves as a centrepiece for engaging with the site's history and the surrounding landscape.
