The ceremony included a traditional blessing by local iwi Taranaki Whānui and formal gifting of the name Omāroro to the project.

Wellington Mayor Justin Lester and Councillor Iona Pannett also attended. Mayor Lester shared a few words on the importance of this project for the future growth and demand as well as the resilience of Wellington City.
