Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, commemoration services for Anzac Day will look a little different this year. There will be a scaled-back dawn service to remember the conflicts of our past and present, and to honour those who served.
Public are welcome to attend, but please remember to follow COVID-19 guidance, and do not attend if you are feeling unwell.
There is also a pop-up poppy field on Andrews Avenue from 18-26 April, where the public are welcome to lay poppies and pay their respects.
There will be no civic service in 2022.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
