Update on NZICC opening date


SkyCity Entertainment Group Limited (SkyCity) advises that the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) will open in February 2026 and will now formalise contracting for conferences being held from that date.

Delays by the contractor means that SkyCity does not expect to commence its own commissioning and operational readiness activities at the NZICC until the second half of 2025 following the delivery of the completed NZICC from the contractor.

“The date is later than we’d hoped but offers contingency, as well as certainty for our customers. We are thrilled to name February 2026 as the date we can open the NZICC's doors to the New Zealand public and the world. The NZICC is a world-class facility that will transform the visitor and events economy in Aotearoa,” said Jason Walbridge, SkyCity’s Chief Executive Officer.
