Settlement Centre Waikato
Ethnic Panels Project


Project Overview
A key feature of the Settlement Centre Waikato (SCW) redevelopment will be the Ethnic Panels that will externally wrap the building. The purpose of the panels is to showcase and celebrate Hamilton’s diverse communities of which there are over 160 different ethnicities.
The design of the panels is an opportunity for you and your community to be involved and have an impact on the first purpose-built settlement hub in New Zealand.
Have your design featured on the new building
There will be 74 panels 120cm x 120cm that will be selected from a range of designs submitted by the community.
We welcome submissions from the ethnic communities that HMS Trust supports.
