Walkway Seats

In 2018 Karen Loten, an OEMI Committee member, suggested that providing seats along the many Ōmokoroa walkways would be a great community amenity.
Fundraising began and generous individuals, families and companies paid for the cost of purchasing and installing  a seat on a concrete base.  Working with the Western Bay of Plenty District Council Reserves team, locations for the seats were agreed and by mid 2021, 11 seats had been donated and installed.  
The original concept map for their placement was:

The result of the installation of the initial  seats was that others in the community requested the opportunity to donate a seat.
Such is the generousity of the Ōmokoroa community that there are now in excess of 30 donated seats along the walkways and in Reserves.
