In 2014, as fundraising for the redevelopment continued, the entire Sarjeant collection and gallery shifted to new, temporary premises on Taupo Quay, in central Whanganui where the exhibitions program is ongoing.[11] The ambitious $35million redevelopment project was green-lit in December 2017 when crucial fundraising deadlines were met and consequently Government confirmed the release of $10million in pledged funds.[12] As a result, the redevelopment project is now contracting, with the restoration and construction feted to commence in 2019 one hundred years after the Sarjeant Gallery was built.
