Mahi toi (artwork) unveiled at Half Moon Bay

"Ko ngā whetū ki te rangi, ko ngā kirikiri ki te one taipapa, ko ngā mana whakaheke o Ngāi Tai."

(As the stars in the sky, and the grains of sand on our many foreshores, so are the myriad of chiefs in the pantheon of Ngāi Tai.)

Beautiful mahi tai (artwork) unveiled at dawn this morning at the Half Moon Bay Ferry Terminal. Designed by local iwi Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, it includes this whakataukī that is reflected in the artwork itself. It looks especially beautiful in the dark as the light shines through the stars.

This surrounds the new electric ferry charging infrastructure that will enable environmentally friendly, cost efficient, more reliable and quieter connections into the city. With construction on the landslide infrastructure now completed, the next step is the infrastructure in the city centre and commissioning of the new ferries.

There are unrelated works still happening at Half Moon Bay with upgrades underway for the Waiheke vehicle ferry.
