Fireworks In West Auckland As Prime Minister Takes The Plunge
The Prime Minister has been confirmed to re-open Lynn Mall and push the plunger on the largest land-based fireworks
display West Auckland has seen on 16 July.
"We're really looking forward to the grand opening and having the Prime Minister there will make it all the more
significant," said Head of Property for AMP Asset Management, James Darkins.
The two and a half year refurbishment project concludes this week, transforming one of New Zealand's largest malls into
its newest.
"We wanted to say thank you to the West Auckland community, and a big fireworks show seemed an exciting way to do this,"
said Mr Darkins.
"We'd like as many people to attend as possible. The best places for parking will be in the New Lynn town centre car
park and the top level car park at LynMall. People should be in position by 7pm."
The refurbishment began in early 1997 and was phased to allow continual trading and public access to the centre during
construction. The new look LynnMall features high ceilings, functional and ornate finishes, terrazyte floors and three
spectacular atriums.
The new LynnMall houses 110 retail premises and around 600 predominantly West Auckland employees. The centre averaged
120,000 visitors a week prior to development, a figure that is expected to rise after the grand opening.
AMP Asset Management is New Zealand's largest investment company managing funds of over $9 billion. It is also the
country's largest private property investment company, managing a property portfolio of 1.4 billion.
