ANZAC Day Services

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

After two years, our three local ANZAC Day services are making a welcome return this Sunday 25 April :)
Details of the Birkenhead, Glenfield and Northcote services are below. These services are proudly funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board.

Wreaths: All local groups are welcome to lay a wreath at any of the services. Kaipātiki Local Board members are aware that unfortunately not all groups that usually lay a wreath have been contacted this year, which is an error that we are following up on. Feel free to leave a comment with your group name below and we'll make sure it is added to the list. Please be assured that if your group's name is not called, there will still be an opportunity to lay your wreath.

Hikoi - North Island

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police have established a Major Operations Centre (MOC) to provide oversight of the Police response to the upcoming hīkoi from Northland to Wellington.

The MOC, based at Police National Headquarters in Wellington, is providing logistical, resource and communication support to all districts along the hīkoi route.
Major Operations Director Superintendent Kelly Ryan says Police have been engaged with hīkoi organisers for many weeks.
“Our discussions with organisers to date have been positive and we expect the hīkoi to be conducted in a peaceful and lawful manner,” she says.
The hīkoi is expected to leave Northland today (Monday 11 November) and travel to Wellington, arriving at Parliament between Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 November.

“We’ve planned for large numbers to join the hīkoi, with disruption likely to some roads, including highways and main streets along the route,” Superintendent Ryan says.
“The MOC will support our frontline, district-based staff with the management of people, vehicles and activities, while also maintaining central oversight.
“We will continue to co-ordinate with iwi leaders and our partners across government to ensure public safety and minimal disruption to people going about their daily routine.
“We’re also well connected with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and local councils to ensure road users have up-to-date information and can plan accordingly.
“The MOC will remain in place while the hīkoi is in Wellington and as participants make their way back home safely.”
