context_page_description: Queens Wharf is a concrete wharf in Auckland, New Zealand, that continues off Queen Street. It was previously owned and used by Ports of Auckland. In 2010 it was sold to the Auckland Regional Council and the New Zealand Government, and it was transformed to act as "Party Central" for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
context_section_description: The original wharf was built in 1852 and constructed from wood. It was replaced in the early 1900s with a ferro-concrete wharf. The original name was Queen Street Wharf.
  Up until 2010 the wharf and its sheds were used as a cargo wharf by Ports of Auckland (POAL). The deck of the wharf was often used for parking import vehicles. The northwestern shed was used as a cool store, and the southeastern was used by POAL and MAF for storage and customs processing.
