Each year DOC restores heritage sites to preserve them for future generations. Other improvements make sites easy to reach and more enjoyable to visit. This work can be technically challenging and undertaken in remote locations.
DOC often works in partnership with community groups, iwi and volunteers, and appreciates their vital support.
One of the major initiatives in 2009 was the opening of the restored Hapuawhenua Viaduct. Learn more about this and other heritage work.
In 2008 DOC won an award for the restoration work at Denniston. Find out about this and other heritage projects.
A major achievement in 2007 was the repainting of Government Buildings. Learn more about this and other heritage work.
