Aotea Square

Aotea Square is a large paved public area in the Auckland CBD, of Auckland, New Zealand. Officially opened in 1979 by Sir Dove-Myer Robinson next to Queen Street, it is used for open-air concerts and gatherings, and markets and political rallies. It is currently undergoing major redevelopment (and repairs to a car park underneath it) from November 2008 to 2010, which are to improve it for use by crowds of up to 20,000 people.
