Historic
Places Manawatu-Horowhenua is a volunteer organisation
which replaced the Manawatu Branch of the New Zealand
Historic Places Trust in 2012. We work within the
Manawatu and Horowhenua District and Palmerston North
City Council's local government areas.
The organisation continues
the work of the branch in:
-
promoting the recording,
protection and preservation of historic places in
the Society's area;
-
offering support to iwi and
hapu in relation to Māori wahi tapu, buildings and
structures;
-
providing opportunities for
members to visit historic buildings and precincts,
and to be informed about local heritage issues; and
-
educating the public in the
appreciation of historic places.
We
work closely with Councils and other interest groups to
create better protection, understanding and awareness of
the importance of our local heritage.
