Confusion over Porirua Anzac Day

Reporter Community News

Porirua City Council is in damage control mode after a series of communication blunders which saw a local Returned and Services Association (RSA) told it would be charged for Anzac Day traffic management, and that it wanted one ceremony “that brings people together and does not divide”.
Tītahi Bay RSA president Simon Strombom was told by a council staffer on Wednesday that it would need to pay $1400 for road services associated with its dawn service in 2022.
Once word spread on social media, the council issued a statement saying the council would continue to cover traffic management costs for dawn services.
