About Us
Welcome to Wero
Wero is a Master Plan designed by Counties Manukau Pacific Trust, the community trust that successfully developed and operates the TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre, in partnership with the Auckland Council. This second stage of the total site has all resource consents in place and will serve as a gateway to Auckland from the South.
Wero will build on the Trust’s success in developing the most iconic Pacific themed venue in the country. It will be financially self-sustainable and will support the region by serving over 45,000 students through its youth programmes and over half a million visitors coming to the facilities annually.
Wero will be a tourism destination which will have local, regional, nationwide impact and contributions. It will be an international centre like no other in New Zealand and in the Asia Pacific region.
Wero will be the only place where you can discover real cultural and physical challenges that will leave you inspired, challenged and thrilled.
