Wellington Cenotaph Renew

The precinct includes the Cenotaph, at the corner of Lambton Quay and Bowen Street, and the plaza next to Parliament Grounds.

Horizon supplied a combination of paving materials including a 600 * 300 Rubbed Bluestone paver and a complimentary 750 * 500 Veneto unit. Works Included: Restoring original features of the Cenotaph including garden beds and paving. New seats and lights. A new public artwork. New steps from the plaza up to Parliament Grounds allowing for a direct pedestrian route to the Beehive. Removing the public toilets. Removing some trees to open up the plaza and allow for the link through to Parliament.
