Pohutukawa ANZAC Remembrance Trust | Honouring Our Heritage

Our Legacy

Preserving the spirit of the ANZAC

A Sacred Trust

The Pohutukawa ANZAC Remembrance Trust is committed to honouring ANZAC heritage by developing and maintaining a memorial and gardens in the Beachlands/Maraetai area. Our mission is to educate and engage the public through meaningful ceremonies and provide a tranquil space for reflection.

Named after the iconic New Zealand pohutukawa tree, whose crimson blossoms symbolise the courage and sacrifice of those who served, our memorial gardens stand as a living tribute to the ANZAC spirit.

"At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."

Memorial Development

We are actively developing and building an ANZAC memorial within the Beachlands/Maraetai area, creating a landmark destination that serves as a focal point for community remembrance and reflection.

The memorial features carefully designed gardens, commemorative structures, and interpretive elements that tell the story of ANZAC service and sacrifice.

Ceremonial Events

We conduct meaningful ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies, bringing the community together to honour those who served. These events provide opportunities for reflection, education, and connection.

Our ceremonies are inclusive, respectful, and designed to engage people of all ages in the tradition of remembrance.

Community Education

We provide educational programs and resources that help younger generations understand and appreciate ANZAC heritage. Through school visits, interpretive displays, and community engagement, we keep history alive.

Our educational initiatives foster a deep sense of connection to New Zealand's military history and the values it represents.

Garden Maintenance

Our dedicated team maintains the memorial gardens to the highest standard, ensuring they remain a beautiful and tranquil space for visitors year-round.

The gardens feature native New Zealand plants, including the iconic pohutukawa, creating a living landscape that connects remembrance with the natural beauty of Aotearoa.

A Place of Reflection

The Pohutukawa ANZAC Remembrance Trust provides a vital space for the Beachlands/Maraetai community and visitors from across New Zealand to connect with our military history. Through our ceremonies and educational programs, we ensure that the sacrifices of previous generations are never forgotten.

Our memorial gardens offer a tranquil setting where families can honour their loved ones, where students can learn about our nation's history, and where all New Zealanders can pause to reflect on the values of courage, sacrifice, and service.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn."
