Beautiful Utility Boxes Are Possible

Lately a number of utility boxes in the Eden Albert Ward have been beautified with anti-graffiti wrapping as a result of a Community Board project initiated by the Board’s chair, Christopher Dempsey. Three images were used; a tui, a cabbage tree, and the Te Auaunga Oakley Creek waterfall.

“It’s great to see these images on utility boxes around the ward. I like the Te Auaunga waterfall picture, featured on the utility box near Rocket Park,” Mr Dempsey says, “particularly when it is probable that the government will be building SH20 over it, destroying it. This may be the only place that residents will be able to see what the waterfall was like.”

The utility boxes that have been beautified are located around the ward, ranging from one at the Khyber Pass Road and Grafton Road intersection, to one near the Pak’n’Save on New North Road. “Residents should check out the Khyber Pass Road utility box – it has a great image of a pair of tuis” said Mr Dempsey, “I hope that residents in the ward get pleasure from these images as they walk or drive past these boxes.”
