As part of stage two of our Maclean Park refresh project, we're upgrading our shower facilities and accessible toilets. We expect to start installing these in mid-2024.

We're now inviting local artists to submit their ideas for a temporary public artwork commission as part of these upgrades. The artwork will be installed on the new amenity block, with the selected design printed on photofilm and ‘wrapped’ around the ends of the building, and is expected to be in place for five years.

Design concept

Local artists are encouraged to submit vibrant, colourful design concepts that reflect the life and soul of Maclean Park and its surroundings, and relate to the overarching public art theme of Mountains to Sea.

Design concepts need to be culturally appropriate and could include depictions of:

• local trees or plants
• landscape features
• native birds (except those considered tapu).

Because the amenity block includes wharepaku, design concepts must not include representations of food or people.
