Auckland’s heritage counts 2025

Extract

Welcome to the 2025 edition of Auckland’s Heritage Counts. 

Launched in 2018, Auckland’s Heritage Counts was the first initiative in New Zealand to systematically gather data and research on the public value of heritage. Since its inception, a new report has been published each year.

The aim of Auckland’s Heritage Counts is to showcase the extent and variety of Auckland’s heritage as well as the social, economic and environmental benefits Aucklanders gain from engagement with Auckland’s heritage places.

This edition features a poster of key statistics, new research on the adaptive reuse of heritage churches, and insights into international heritage management frameworks.

Includes research summary: The adaptive re-use of heritage churches in Auckland. Elisa Andrea Aguirre García, 2025
