ANZ: Drop Denniston

Whakatū: ANZ Drop Denniston

Thursday, May 29, 12:00 PM
Outside ANZ Trafalgar Street
248 Trafalgar Street
Whakatū Nelson, Nelson, 7010, New Zealand
It's 2025 and Bathurst Resources, an ANZ customer, is currently pursuing a fast track application to mine 20 million tonnes of coking coal, including the Denniston Plateau. This coking coal is for export & would have devastating impacts on the areas' unique ecosystem and rare species. It would also spew climate pollution equivalant to NZ's entire annual emissions. Join us for this peaceful protest, interactions with passersby and customers as to our request that ANZ drop Bathurst as a customer ...... Banner, leaflets, flyers and placards provided, or bring your own ...... Join us, let ANZ know we see their involvement in one of the most threatening projects being planned under this insidious Fast Track Legislation.

Rules:


✨ 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!
