Registration number CC45482Sector: Arts / culture / heritageAuckland
Purpose: The purpose of the Trust is to record the history of 63rd Battery, 9 Heavy Coast Regiment situated at Kennedy Park during WWII, open the facilities to the public and promote, explain preserve and protect the remaining military installation. In particular the Trust wishes to protect and restore the old barrack house situated at 139 Beach Road. All the military installations are listed as heritage structures. The battery is significant from a heritage perspective in that the installations and military camp were camouflaged at the design and construction phase to depict a civilian housing estate and the level and completeness of this camouflage was unique in New Zealand and possibly in the southern hemisphere.
