Recycled asphalt paves marae carpark

The carpark at one of the country’s most prominent marae is being repaved as a side effect of the Provincial Growth Fund.

That material is being used by Gisborne District Council and Downer NZ to pave the parking areas of Poho-o-Rawiri and Te Kuri a Tuatai Marae.
