Rae suggested that an organisation for the protection of the country's heritage should be set up and put in a private member's bill in 1953. Whilst this did not proceed, the First National Government of New Zealand (of which he was a member) took responsibility of the issue and the Historic Places Act 1954 was passed, which established the National Historic Places Trust as a non-governmental organisation (NGO). This organisation has since evolved as an autonomous Crown entity known as Heritage New Zealand.[2]

He was made Consul-General to Indonesia (1961–1963) then Chargé d'Affaires to Indonesia (1963).[1]

He was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 1963 New Year Honours.[3] He died suddenly on 3 February 1964 in Auckland.[1]
