It is a focus of Anzac Day commemorations in the city. The souvenir programme for the dedication says the mounted figure was entitled 'The Will to Peace', and is described thus: Pegasus spurning underfoot the victor's spoils of war and rising into the heavens, enabl[ing] his rider to emerge from the deluge of blood and tears, and to receive the great spiritual assurance of peace. On 2 September 2013, new plans for the cenotaph were presented including a new staircase and water feature up to the Parliament Buildings. The works also include repairs to the cenotaph surface materials and creation of a square to create a ceremonial space. In 2015 the Wellington Anzac Day citizen's wreath-laying ceremony was held at the upgraded cenotaph.
