Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the silence will include the Muslim call to prayer, which will be broadcast nationally on TVNZ and Radio NZ.
The attacks on the mosques by an armed gunman, which resulted in the deaths of 50 people and the injury of 50 others, happened around 1.45pm on Friday March 15.
Ardern also said arrangements for a memorial service, likely to be held next week, were still being made.
"While it will be in Christchurch, we are looking at how we can involve the rest of New Zealand," she told reporters in Christchurch on Wednesday.
