Project Town Centre: Council helps owners smarten up their buildings

Properties in the Papakura Town Centre will soon be looking smart and tidy thanks to Project Town Centre, a Papakura District Council initiative that helps property owners to give their buildings an exterior make-over.

Working from a colour palette developed by Papakura’s Colour Plus Trend Décor, the Council is subsidising the cost of paint to smarten up the exteriors of participating businesses.

The initiative supports work being done to enhance the public areas of the town centre, a project that has seen Broadway and O’Shannessey Street receive a “makeover” that links them with the main street and creates a pleasant environment for shoppers.

The property owners clean the exteriors prior to painting and supply labour and any equipment needed.

Wadams Menswear and the Amcal Chemist on Great South Road have already received the exterior make-over treatment. Now the owners of the building on the corner of O’Shannessey Street and Broadway – most commonly known as “Flanagan’s corner” have confirmed they will join the project, and three further building owners are about to join.
