Two decades after its inception, the Worlds of Wellington Trust (WOW) is back with a new name, a new location and new set of projects.
The non-profit organisation under Founder and Chair Phil Sprey, was the organisation which created, produced and delivered the multileveled ‘GO DUTCH’ Festival, Disney Toy and Anne Frank Exhibitions and the iconic “Dresses for Humanity’ The Princess Diana dresses exhibition, around the turn of the millennium. On a community level it was behind, The Rink Ice Skating event in Waitangi Park, X-Ball Paint Ball tournament and Flora! Flora! the celebration of floral design at Government House. Over a four-year period alone, 750,000 New Zealanders visited the Trusts events and under its charitable directive raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local organisations like Heart, Arthritis and Aids Foundations, Child Cancer and many more.
‘Now in 2019 we are back with a new location and a new brand and a fresh set of set of projects under consideration’ says Sprey, ‘we were born out of a need to fill the gaps in cultural, artistic and community events that city councils and other authorities failed to support or produce.’
The New Look and Direction: The Worlds of Wellington Trust Inc. is now - DestinationHutt.
The new brand name makes no secret of its location. Relocated to Hutt City, the Worlds of Wellington Trust Inc is now taking on a new image and set of priorities and principles. Why? Simple, The WOW image and logo now clashes with the identical fashion event brand, that’s obvious.
The Hutt name inclusion too will re-enforce the fact that our research has identified that Wellington City is no longer seen to be able or interested supporting its international relationships rather focusing on other events, but the Hutt City’s business community, ethnic organisations and civic leaders are.
With his other hat on, Chairman Phil Sprey is also running as a candidate for Hutt City Council in 2019 and will push the same Destination Hutt war cry whether elected or not. ‘Working from within council, I will be able to help ensure the delivery of this new initiative is debated and supported and made the envy of other neighbouring councils’, says Sprey.
DestinationHutt will have a new CEO, the next generation of the Sprey family, Damien Sprey. His Victoria University Qualifications and experience working along his father on concerts and other major events will continue to carry forward the ethic and aspirations the Trust was established on.
Look out for announcements on the first international project soon!

This work will take about 20 weeks from 28 August 2019 to Mid-January 2020. Hours of work will generally be 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays worked if necessary. The construction work will largely be undertaken within the road reserve within Duncan Street.
Traffic management is changing throughout the project and we will continue to advise each major change of traffic management.
On 28 August, southbound traffic on Duncan Street will be detoured around the worksite via Tawa Terrace to the Tawa Street roundabout (red arrow). Northbound traffic will be one-way from the Tawa Street roundabout to the Tawa Terrace intersection (green arrow).
While work areas will be fenced off, we will make sure that you have access to your property at all times. There may be occasions when the contractor needs to gain access to your property although we’ll give you at least 24 hours’ notice of this. If you have any concerns with access, you can contact our project team anytime. On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and so we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas.
