Pacific Wardens are on the beat in Waitakere.

Waitakere City Council, Waitakere Police and the Waitakere Pacific Wardens Trust recently launched the initiative at the Pacific in the Park event in Massey - where wardens were on duty for the first time.

A special memorial service will be held at Waikumete Cemetery on November 28 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Erebus air disaster.

The remains of more than 60 of the 257 people who lost their lives in the 1979 crash are cared for at the cemetery, the majority in a mass grave marked by a special memorial.

Opened in 1981, the memorial features names of unidentified passengers and is now surrounded by attractive gardens, including a cherry tree planted by the Japanese Bereaved Erebus Family Society, and seating for visitors to the site.
