This morning was the blessing and unveiling of the new sculpture “Te Punga”, meaning “The Anchor”.

Māngere College students were invited to be a part of the ceremony.

The sculpture was formed by excavated basalt rock deep in the earth from the Watercare Central Interceptor tunnel and taken by Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua artist Pāora Puru and sculptor Chris Van Doren and turned in this beautiful artwork for public to enjoy.
The sculpture acknowledges the culural significance of Te Maanukanuka o Hoturoa (the Manukau Harbour) to Waiohua iwi. Te Punga symbolises the numerous waka (canoes) that once anchored in these waters, serving as a link for people through transport, trade, and tradition.

To find the sculpture, head to the corner of Creamery Rd and Greenwood Rd, by the Māngere Lagoon. 🫶
