The Hamilton New Zealand Temple, which was originally dedicated on April 20, 1958, by President David O. McKay, has been closed since July 2018 for extensive renovation. The temple currently serves all Latter-day Saints in New Zealand. An additional temple is under construction in Auckland and it was recently announced that another temple will be built in Wellington.
New Zealand is home to nearly 117,000 Latter-day Saints in 30 stakes and almost 230 congregations.
