* Stop the current blanket intensification plans * Restore Auckland Council’s planning powers * Direct Kāinga Ora to stop meddling in Auckland planning and get on with building homes on land it owns

Remuera Heritage has created three heritage walks aimed at teaching children and their whanau about their neighbourhood. The walks encourage locals to look at the many beautiful heritage homes, gardens, trees, shops, churches and maunga of this historic suburb.

The August 2023 event featured four of Remuera Heritage’s members talking about special objects and collectables and memories of life in Remuera

Come and join us for a visit to Te Roti, the former Winstone Macdonald house at 20 Orakei Road. Built in the early 1900s in the Arts and Craft style, it has been adapted for modern living while retaining key heritage features.

“After a year of works this gorgeous heritage library has been lovingly restored. Heritage done well means you can almost not see the changes. As a result of Auckland Council investment our beautiful St Heliers library is future proofed for many generations to come."

Our next event invites people to give a short talk of 5 to 15 minutes on an interesting topic in relation to living in Remuera, an event that happened in Remuera or a piece of family history or memories of life in Remuera.

Auckland Council has recently completed a new walkway alongside the Remuera stream at the bottom of Portland Road in what was called Waitaramoa Reserve on the corner of Portland and Shore Roads. The environmental works mean the area is now open for the public to explore – it is an incredible local walk of native plants and walkways.

Anzac Day to be remembered with Parnell Heritage and Remuera Heritage

Remuera Heritage notes with sadness the death of Dave Lennard as a result of the floods in Auckland on the 27th and 28th January 2023, aged 78.

Remuera Heritage notes with sadness the passing of Ngaire Bailey in January 2023, aged 93. Ngaire was a member of Remuera Heritage and the granddaughter of Leonard John Keys, the first store owner in Remuera.

Remuera Heritage wishes to acknowledge the huge contribution to heritage architecture, restoration and preservation. He was particularly helpful last year in assisting Remuera residents to identify the special character and heritage features of their properties in response to Council’s Plan Change 78 re housing intensification. He has left a huge legacy for New Zealand heritage.
