The Plaza in Whangaparaoa has a new name to coincide with an ongoing refurbishment programme.
Work on the exterior of the renamed Coast Plaza is expected to be largely complete this week – in time for the Coast Christmas Carnival, which will be held on December 17 (12 noon to 7.30pm).
The refurbishment began in September with a $200,000 upgrade to its courtyard (opposite the library) and was followed by painting and new signs.
Coast Plaza manager, Anne Murphy, says that the name and new colours were chosen “to reflect our environment; sun, sea and nature, the things we Coasties love about Whangaparaoa.”
She says not only will the centre have a new name and look, but there are other major developments starting to taking place.
This includes an indoor refurbishment, which will take place in stages next year.
A transformation of the courtyard, which will also incorporate an outdoor dining precinct, is also planned in 2017.
