Government rebuild agency Ōtākaro Ltd is spending $200,000 installing two public art pieces on the Avon River precinct.
Council will decide next week whether Natalie Guy’s The Pool, which is a mini diving board, should be permanently installed on the Oxford Tce riverbank opposite the Antigua Boatsheds.
The artwork, which is 3 metres high, is being gifted by SCAPE Public Art Trust.

Funding will include the purchase and installation of the artwork, which was exhibited at a different site as part of the 2019 SCAPE public art season, as well as 12 months of maintenance costs.
The second art piece is being commissioned and hasn’t been finalised yet.
The Council’s Sustainability and Community Resilience Committee will decide at a meeting next Thursday whether The Pool should be permanently installed on the riverbank site.
