Supporting the Great Harbour Way

The Great Harbour Way—Te Aranui o Pōneke— in New Zealand, is a walking and cycling track around Wellington's magnificent Te Whanganui-a-tara. From capital city waterfront to rugged coastline, from river estuary to pleasant beachside suburb, the pathway is linked in a joint community/council initiative, which Metal Art, Replas’ NZ distributor, is proud to support.

Recently, Hutt City Council completed a section of the Great Harbour Way on the lower Hutt River. Now cyclists, joggers, walkers, picnicking families and fishers casting their line into the river mouth, can take time out on a Civic seat or an Avalon picnic setting, donated by Metal Art. This furniture is made using recycled-plastic slats from Replas which are ideal in the harsh maritime conditions that the Wellington southerly occasionally throws at it.

The new seats are also environmentally sustainable; the recycled plastic used was the equivalent of 2,400 x two-litre milk bottles, saving a considerable amount of plastic from landfill.

Clever move by NZ council

 

New Zealand Replas distributor Metal Art has worked with Hutt City Council on many projects over the past few years with great success. When new picnic settings were needed at Avalon Park and the Alicetown Community Centre reserve, Metal Art worked in conjunction with the council to come up with a solution. The addition of chess boards to the new recycled-plastic settings was a clever strategy to ensure these parks attract even more visitors in the future. 

‘The new tables are a great way to encourage families to spend more time at the park. Avalon is what we describe as a ‘destination park. This means it attracts people from across the Wellington region. We want amenities that will give them lots to do when they get here … the Replas table settings are ideal.’ - Judy Robb, Horticultural Manager, Hutt City Council.
