Birkdale walkway community project (Planning stage)
Some McPhail St residents are investigating our options for sprucing up the walkway between McPhail St and Beach Haven Rds.
One of the recurring suggestions is for artists to paint murals on the blank canvas that are the fences. It is a fairly long walkway as far as painting is concerned, so if the artist was not opposed to the community helping to do the actual painting itself to get as many people involved as possible? It will still be a huge job, but hopefully the more hands the merrier?
If anyone is able to help/point us in the right direction for the following we would be very grateful:
1. Does anyone know who is responsible for the actual walkway itself? (to gain permission from)
2. Does anyone know of have any lighting solutions for the walkway that wouldn't annoy the bordering neighbours?
3. Do you have ideas about what images would be great to see there?
4. Are you an artist who is looking for a huge, long blank canvas to work on?...and would enjoy looking into how the community could also be involved to carry out your masterpiece?
5. Funding! Does anyone know of any funding options available for this kind of project?!
Any help/advice with any of the above would be grately appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
