Wellington New Zealand Temple Construction on Hillside Site

The Wellington New Zealand Temple is taking shape on a prominent hillside in the beautiful harbor city of Porirua. Scaffolding draped in white protective sheeting surrounds much of the building as exterior work progresses. Structural framing remains visible along portions of the upper level, while construction activity continues around the base of the temple. The sloping terrain and surrounding natural landscape contribute to the distinctive character of the property.
