Originally dedicated in April of 1956, the Hamilton New Zealand Temple was the first temple built by the LDS Church in the Southern Hemisphere and the second to be built outside of the United States and Canada. After over 60 years, the facility will undergo major renovation and seismic upgrades. Westland will draw on the success and experience gained in managing the renovations of the LDS Temple in Suva Fiji, using established resources and contacts in the Asia-Pacific region in delivering another successful international construction project.
