Japan-Taiwan-New Zealand Seismic Hazard Assessment Meeting

Meeting participants will be asked to arrange their own transport to Napier and from Auckland (if you are not attending the fieldtrip you will need to arrange return transport from Napier).

In addition, attendees will arrange their own accommodation in Napier. You will require accommodation in Napier for the nights of 28, 29, 30 November and 1 December. Below are links to a number of accommodation options relatively close to the Napier Conference Centre.

• Scenic Hotel Te Pania(external link) – Directly opposite the centre on Marine Parade
• Art Deco Masonic Hotel(external link) - Overlooks the Napier Soundshell, a 3 minute walk to the venue
• Expressotel(external link) - Opposite the stunning Municipal Theatre, a 10 minute stroll down Tennyson Street
• The Quest Napier(external link) – 10 minute walk from the centre down Dickens Street.
• Swiss-Belboutique Napier(external link) – Scenic 12 minute walk along Marine Parade
• The Crown Hotel(external link) – 5 minute drive or taxi ride from the centre to Ahuriri
• Conference Centre(external link) - 48 Marine Parade

If none of these options suit your requirements, Napier has a thriving AirBNB supply of detached (mostly wooden) houses for rent.

Travel and accommodation for the fieldtrip will be organised by the conference committee. Meeting participants will be asked to cover the cost of the fieldtrip accommodation via the registration portal.

There will be a modest registration fee for the meeting that will be set at a level to encourage participation. The fee will be set prior to opening of the registration.

Aim to arrive in Napier on 28 November – please book your own travel
