Historic heritage features and archaeological sites

School boards must have historic heritage features identified in their 10 Year Property Plan (10YPP).

Historic heritage features at a school could include:

  • historic buildings
  • archaeological sites
  • wāhi tapu, urupā and other places of significance to Māori
  • trees and landscapes that have historical or cultural associations
  • places where significant events happened
  • cemeteries and burial places.

The Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 defines historic heritage sites and archaeological sites.
