Because in 1865 the seat of government,Parliament, was moved from Auckland to Wellington as Wellington is in the centre of New Zealand.

It is quite big but nothing compared to Auckland but it is a lot more central plus it helps being the business capital of the country

The first government was based in Kororareka, just across the Bay from the Waitangi Treaty House.
As the local population declined in favour of Auckland, the Government was shifted to there.
Both islands then started to develop, in fact Dunedin soon became the centre of commerce in the country, so a more central location was seen as desirable.
Hence the move to Wellington.
