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

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