As per reports, the Wellington City Council plans to heighten security of Pride events in the city after protesters linked to Destiny Church gathered at an Auckland Library. The council would ensure a co-ordinated approach through their CCTV network and established event management plans across community and library centres.

Extra security for the Pride Parade in particular would likely take the form of Wellington Pasifika Patrol and the Māori wardens, who had been allies in the past, and the council’s Hāpai Ake/Local Hosts.
