Due Drop Events Centre and Vector Wero Whitewater Park are owned and operated by Waka Pacific Trust (WPT) which was founded in 2000. One of the Trust’s main goals is to support the community, especially our youth, to develop the skills and tools they need to succeed in school and in life.
In partnership with Ministry of Education, Water Safety NZ and AUT to name a few, we deliver a number of high-quality educational programs in the sports, culture and arts sectors throughout the year either fully funded or heavily subsidized.
Book your event with us knowing you are directly contributing towards our goal of supporting 100,000 children annually through our programs by the year 2025.
The highly flexible and spacious venues can board meetings for 10, conferences for 1500 and extensive exhibitions – all under one roof!
Due Drop Events Centre is conveniently located between two main motorways and just 10-15 minutes from Auckland’s domestic and international airports. Ramada Suites Manukau is located on-site with 85 accommodation rooms, with more options nearby.
Within the same premises is Vector Wero Whitewater Park, a world class tourism destination of national significance. Add a shot of adrenaline to your meeting or conference and take on the challenge of an outdoor education facility that engages and thrills. Two artificial white-water courses cater for all levels, whilst stand-up paddle boarding can be enjoyed on the tranquil lake. After your team building, enjoy a well-deserved cold beverage and delicious food lakeside at the Sunset Bar which can also be hired for events.
Due Drop Events Centre has three main venues: The Sir Woolf Fisher Arena, the Sir Noel Robinson Conference Centre and the BNZ Theatre. Accompanying the larger venues are a series of smaller breakouts of 50m2 each and a Boardroom.
With its innovative seating, the Sir Woolf Fisher Arena has 1800m2 of pillarless flat floor space the can cater for up to 3000 delegates for plenary, a banquet for 1400 or 170 exhibition booths.
The Sir Noel Robinson Centre is 1260m2 of adaptable space that converts to one or up to 5 break out spaces. Each room is approximately 220m2 each. Acoustically rated walls, Indoor/outdoor flow, floor to ceiling natural day light, with blackout drapes for projection, further enhance each room.
The BNZ Theatre is a high-performance space that can accommodate up to 700 for a presentation or it converts to 400m2 flat floor for banquets, product launches, small expos or cocktail parties.
Vector Wero Whitewater Park is home to two artificial Whitewater kayak and raft courses. Tamariki is a grade 1-2 catering for those looking for a gentler water experience or River Rush, a grade four for those looking for more of an adventure and to experience the world’s highest man-made waterfall. All of this is set around a pristine man made late, manicured lawns for on land team building events, pop up café, pizza bar and Sunset Bar.

Due Drop Events Centre is proud to partner with Collective as their exclusive catering partner.

EVENT MANAGEMENT

AMENTIES AND ACCOMMODATION
The site is superbly located near Westfield shopping mall, Manukau train station and bus exchange, national motorways, domestic and international airports.
Ramada Suites Manukau is based on-site with 85 accommodation rooms, with a further 154 rooms at Sebel Manuaku a short 10 minute walk away.
Hospitality giant Wyndham Hotel Group and New Zealand developer Safari Group will be building an 85-room Ramada Suites beside Due Drop Events Centre and Vector Wero Whitewater Park.
The NZ$25 million development, managed by Marsden Asset Management, provides convenient lodging for travellers attending events and sporting matches at the events centre and the white water park.
Its ideal location is within walking distance of Manukau’s growing central business district, Westfield Manukau, while also offering easy access to both Auckland Airport and the Auckland CBD.
“The rising need for quality hotels and trusted brand names in Auckland has created growth opportunities for hoteliers here,” said Barry Robinson, President and Managing Director, Wyndham Hotel Group South East Asia and Pacific Rim. “We currently have two hotels open in Auckland and a further two under development. The fast-growing demand makes this city an important strategic market for our expansion in the South Pacific.”
At just 11km from Auckland Airport – where nearly 19 million passengers arrive into the city each year – Ramada Manukau is ideally positioned to provide visitors to Auckland the opportunity to experience Ramada’s signature hospitality.
