Rotorua - ANZ drop Denniston

Wednesday, May 28, 12:00 PM

ANZ - Rotorua branch
1228 Amohau Street
Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, 3010, New Zealand

Join us for this low-key protest to oppose ANZ enabling climate chaos. ANZ is enabling aNew Zealand’s biggest coal proposal ever. It would mean more emissions, more ecosystem destruction, and more climate chaos. ANZ’s client, Bathurst Resources, is pushing to dig 20 million tonnes of coal from the Denniston Plateau, much of it on public conservation land. Bathurst’s mine could spew climate pollution equivalent to NZ’s entire emissions. ANZ has the power to shut this project down — and with enough public pressure, they’ll have to phase out banking services with not only Bathurst, but all fossil fuel expansion companies.

✨ Kaupapa Agreement for This Action

This action is grounded in creativity, nonviolence, and community power. Together, we're calling out ANZ for backing Bathurst Resources' destructive coal plans on the Denniston Plateau — and building a better future.

At this action, we agree to:

Stay public, creative, and non-disruptive — gathering outside the ANZ branch without blocking doors or customer access.
Use chalk, costumes, props, flyers, and storytelling to engage the public and invite them to join our action/campaign.
Treat everyone — including the public, bank staff, and police — with dignity, respect, and nonviolence.
Protect our campaign’s reputation: no paint, glue, or property damage; no occupying or disrupting the bank interior.
Keep the focus on ANZ’s role in funding climate destruction, while staying safe and welcoming.

This kaupapa keeps us safe, effective, and powerful. Thank you for standing together for climate justice!
