We are partnering with key stakeholders and community groups to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone can celebrate Pride without fear.
We will ensure a coordinated approach through our CCTV network, and established event management plans across our community and library centres. This integrated approach allows for real-time monitoring, rapid response, and proactive measures to prevent disruptions or harmful behaviour.
Additionally, security teams are on standby to provide immediate support when needed. We continue to work closely across agencies to assess risks and implement preventive strategies, ensuring the city remains a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
Wellington is a city that celebrates diversity. We stand in solidarity with our rainbow community and are proud to be recognised as one of the world’s leading destinations for LGBTQ+. Hate and bigotry have no home here.
Let’s work together to make the upcoming Wellington Pride Festival a space where everyone feels welcome and supported.
