Patea Afloat
Patea Afloat is a community project to build a colourful fence made from small boats in the main street of Patea.
Taranaki
Creative Communities and the Patea Community Board have partially funded this project. Several local businesses have also pledged support through discounts on materials and labour, and expertise. It is intended to get the Patea Area School involved in this creative pursuit, as well as interested residents of Patea. It will be fun.
The benefits are to celebrate the connection many generations of Patea people have with the beach and ocean; to create something else to make people stop here and enjoy all Patea has to offer; and to disguise the wrecked cars spoiling the pleasure of our main street view.
