Waverley's clock tower is shining and pristine for Anzac Day.
Built in 1925, the clock tower, a World War I War Memorial, was given a $15,000 facelift by the South Taranaki District Council (STDC) earlier this year.
Communications manager Gerard Langford said a close examination prior to the painting showed some of the interior guttering was faulty and the roof structure and concrete tiles needed work to maintain the weather tightness of the tower.
After several months of intensive work, the clock tower is ready to face another century after having extensive repairs, a facelift to its original livery and the clock mechanism overhauled. All in time for Anzac Day as this is the site of the day's ceremonies for the South Taranaki town.
The clock tower site also shows the confines of the old military redoubt, now severely eroded, but the remains of the 1868 redoubt can still be seen, Mr Langford said.
