[3] A new tree-lined road linking the exhibition grounds with the city centre was completed, and now forms Anzac Avenue.

The exhibition grounds and buildings included an amusement park with a quarter-mile scenic railway loop, restaurant, and tearooms, along with displays from both New Zealand provinces and overseas countries, with "courts" set up by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Fiji.

[3] The exhibition was commemorated in a set of three stamps issued by the New Zealand Post Office, designed by H Linley Richardson.

Some sections of some of the exhibitions buildings were sold to members of the public and moved to other sites, most notably a small domed structure now part of an art gallery at Brighton, to the south of Dunedin.

After the Dunedin Public Art Gallery moved to its new site in the city centre in 1996, the building was shortened to allow for expansion to the neighbouring University Oval cricket ground.
