Anti-Aircraft Battery Point Halswell

This was one of six heavy anti aircraft batteries built in Wellington. It was constructed in 1942 and decommissioned in 1944. It was built to the Type-A design with four emplacements and one command post.

The emplacements still exist and will form part of a new reserve that will encompass most of the northern end of Miramar Peninsula. As of 2022 the area is under the management of Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) who are preparing it for transfer to the Department of Conservation. This work includes the removal or mitigation of various hazards and while this work is carried out public access is "not formally authorised" according to the LINZ website.
