Who is your favourite “Westie” icon?

June 28, 2007

Nominations Close Shortly

Who is your favourite “Westie” icon?

There are just a few days left for people to nominate famous people for inclusion in Waitakere City’s Walkway of Fame.

Each year the hand and/or footprints of locals who have gained national or international recognition are etched into granite tablets and inserted into the Walkway, which is outside the Council’s civic centre in Henderson.

The project began in 2000 and already honours the likes of All Black legend Michael Jones, musician Neil Finn, and chief justice Dame Sian Elias.
This year will see up to four new inductees.

The criteria are:
- Must be nationally or internationally recognised and they must have been born in or lived for a substantial part of their life/career
- Those who have helped raise the profile of the region or whose work/career has been inspired by the region (for example actors or artists)
Nominations can be made on-line at www.waitakere.govt.nz or by writing to:

“Walkway of Fame”
Waitakere City Council
Private Bag 93109
Henderson

Please include your name and contact details (phone and/or e-mail) as well as the name of person you wish to nominate.

ENDS
