Harakeke Fence stage 1

During the three-year KiwiRail project to add a third platform and track a long fence was constructed along Steyne Ave, Before it could be sealed ugly tags were scrawled on the fence which could not be removed. PRA worked with KiwiRail and PCC over many months to find a solution. This stretch of road near the rail crossing is narrow and busy. Whatever was done to the fence had to be subtle and not cause driver distraction. Professional designers Anne Johnston and Linda Kerkmeester who had already created our bridge balustrade, the reed and flax metal fences, beach signage and the Beach Road boardwalk and café corner) designed flax cutouts to be applied to the fence. The fence was painted and sealed then the Menzshed team painted, sealed and installed the flax bushes.
