Hairy Maclary and his friends will be permanently in pursuit of their nemesis Scarface Claw when they are installed on the Tauranga waterfront.
Nine bronze sculptures will be positioned as though they are trying to reach Scarface Claw who will sit on top of a pole.
Hairy Maclary From Donaldson's Dairy characters will come to life among magnolia trees and soft grasses which will surround the cobbled garden they are placed in, next to the playground on the Strand.

The placement of the characters was just as important as design in bringing the characters to life, mouldmaker Marco Wuest told the Bay of Plenty Times.
