8. LORNE STREET UPGRADE

   Brenda Railey
   Artworks Coordinator, Special Projects	10 July 2007

   Reporting on the detailed design for the proposed phone booth artbox located in Lorne Street. This project has been included as part of the Lorne Street upgrade, and the selection of artists Jae Hoon Lee and Niki Hastings-McFall was reported to the Sub-committee in July 2006. Officers have explored with Telecom NZ the opportunity to include the artwork on all sides of the phone booth, and that Auckland City's contribution be acknowledged on the phone booth. In response, Telecom NZ is unable to meet this request due to company branding guidelines, however, it has been proposed that the Auckland City Council and Telecom NZ logos and descriptive signage of the artists' work be included as part of the project. Claude Group, architectural signage specialists, have led the technical development of the artbox. The timeframe for manufacture and installation is early September 2007.

   Recommending that the Lorne Street phone booth artbox be progressed to manufacture and installation, and that the resolutions and report be forwarded to the Hobson Community Board for its information.
