The booklet was launched in 2006 and includes two distinct walks, one for central  Avondale, and another for sites on Rosebank Peninsula.  Information for the brochures came from Heart of the Whau and Challenge of the Whau published by The Avondale-Waterview Historical Society (AWHS).  The Avondale Community Board approved a grant to the AWHS and Matthews & Matthews Heritage Architects were commissioned to prepare the brochure.

Heritage plaques marking the town centre sites were installed after the brochure’s release in 2007.  Soon after, Auckland City Council also installed plaques at neighbouring suburbs, plus larger ones outside the Hollywood Cinema and across St Georges Road at St Ninians Church. 

​

Once you finish the walk, you will see Avondale in a whole new light.
