South Wairarapa District Council is boosting the visibility of its amenities and beautiful public spaces with informative new signs across the district.

“The new signs are a district wide initiative to highlight the great amenities that council looks after for the community, their hours, what they offer and information about enjoying these public spaces in South Wairarapa,” says Stefan Corbett, Group Manager of Infrastructure and Community Operations.

“A modest budget has been used cautiously as we determine which places need more clarity around names and services, using new signs,” says Corbett.

Parks, cemeteries and libraries are among the many amenities to have upgraded signs and, in some instances, signs for the first time.

“Some old signs that have stood for decades had old hours or phone numbers while others lacked helpful information which the community needs to know, such as hours for the transfer station, etiquette at dog parks and where to find a walk,” says Corbett, adding that all three dog parks in the district are soon to have new signs. 

“We’re delighted to be installing new signs around South Wairarapa for the benefit of our community and visitors alike.”
