New mural coming to Opaketai Beach Haven Gardens

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

It's exciting to see a new mural taking shape at Opaketai Beach Haven Gardens! Local artist Neil Coleman has done a beautiful design that will look amazing when finished.
The mural is an initiative of the fabulous Beach Haven Placemaking Group with funding from the Kaipātiki Local Board and paint donated by Green By Nature. Keep an eye out for Neil, Andrew and others getting stuck in over the coming weeks (weather permitting).
