   Warren Pringle
   Senior Arts Planner	7 May 2007

   Reporting on the status of the Twister project, a kinetic sculpture by artist Peter Roche, which is proposed to be sited on the Halsey Street extension in the Viaduct Harbour. A sculpture comprising three intersecting steel tube and neon vortices, Twister was one of the original proposals accepted for development as part of council's Viaduct Harbour Sculpture Walk project initiated in 1999. Detailed concept development and documents for the construction of Twister have been prepared to the point of tender and a trust is being set up to manage fundraising, own and complete installation of the artwork.

   There is a resource consent height constraint on the proposed site of eight metres. Twister is twenty metres high. A resource consent planning consultant is working with officers to determine whether the consent will be notified or have limited notification status.
