TVNZ Breakfast show visit to Wadestown Community Centre

Greg Hyland from Highland Park Residents Association (HPPA)

Note: TV live crossover time is now approx. 8:20am on Tues 5th March.

Keen to Support and Save the well-used and well-loved Wadestown Community Centre from WCC sale?

TVNZ Breakfast show cameras are visiting the Wadestown Community Centre (46 Pitt St) between 8am and 8:30am on Tues 5th March for a live chat with the Musicbox Academy music group, Community Centre users and local residents. The live cross to us is likely to be about 8am.

WCC intends to sell the Wadestown Community Centre building and spend the money elsewhere, despite agreeing in 2021 for any sale money to stay in Wadestown to build a new Community Centre in future. Is your Community Centre next in the WCC Fire-sale?

Please come along on Tues 5th March from 8am and show you care. Questions to Greg - 021473499 or hppawgtn@gmail.com

Friends of Karori Cemetery: Tour this Weekend

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

Tour: Military Tales from the Services Section

This tour will run next on Sunday 5th May at 11:00am.

Historians say that war has played a big role in New Zealanders sense of themselves. They reflect on the military prowess of the Maori, the adaptability and guerilla skills of the NZ soldier, the unifying impact of Maori and Pakeha fighting side by side in the trenches in both world wars, and the successes NZer’s have had in conflict. Opened in 1919, the Karori Servicemens Cemetery is NZ’s oldest and largest. On this walk we will visit the graves of senior officers who served in the New Zealand wars, the South African wars, in WW1 and WW2, and in the Asian wars, starting with Sir Harry Atkinson, and finishing with Major General Kippenberger.

The tour duration is 1 hour 30mins.

Tours are $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free. Your ticket can be booked through our ticketing website Humanitix:
