Te Pae, Christchurch's near $450 million convention centre, has been officially opened this afternoon with a pōwhiri and unveiling by Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Minister Megan Woods.

Billed as a legacy for the city, it replaces the old centre which was demolished following the Canterbury earthquakes.

Niva Chittock is at the ceremony and joins Lisa with the details.
