Omokoroa Public Art Group is delighted to be a grant recipient of the Omokoroa Centre Trust earlier this month.
The grant of $3000 will go towards funding a new sculpture proposed by the Omokoroa Public Art Group to enhance the entrance to the Omokoroa-Tauranga cycleway at Cooney Reserve.
The idea of the new sculpture will be to celebrate the nearby local nesting ground of godwits.
Omokoroa Public Art Group (OPAG) chairwoman Alie Henderson says if approved by the Omokoroa Community Board, the large kinetic sculpture will ''create a unique sense of place and distinction, enjoyment and pride for all citizens and visitors to our community''.
''We very much appreciate the support of our local centre, and would like to acknowledge the work of all the amazing volunteers who have made the centre such a success.''
