This consultation ran from 11 November to 6 December 2024.

We received 195 pieces of feedback during the consultation. Thank you for having your say.

In October 2024, we also held two in-person workshops with 20 community members. Around 10 key stakeholders gave us feedback directly.

Main feedback themes

The feedback shows that:

• 30 per cent of people supported installing a new replica sign in a different location
• 24 per cent of people would prefer to use the original sign for something else
• 54 per cent of people supported building a new, replica sign using parts of the original sign.

What happened next

At a local board workshop in February 2025, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board reviewed the feedback and agreed its support to create a replica sign using as much of the original sign as possible.

The board also discussed options for a location for the new sign and agreed support for 525 Ellerslie Panmure Highway, next to the Te Horata cycleway entrance.

The board approved the recommendations at its business meeting on 29 April 2025.
