lopdell house
and precinct

Lopdell House is an acknowledged local, regional and national historic landmark. The conservation plan prepared addresses Lopdell House, Lopdell Hall and their associated landscape as one spirit. It includes policies and recommendations that aim to conserve and enhance the cultural heritage significance of the precinct in its contextual richness of landscape, buildings and community activities. In this understanding proposed development has been informed.

Archifact’s involvement in this project included conservation planning, design guidance, review of resource consent drawings of the proposed development, consultation with New Zealand Historic Places Trust, council and the public in addition to our assessment of environmental effects.
