Te Kohao Health unveil pou
Twenty eight pou are being unveiled today around the site of Te Kohau Health’s new $15 million wellness and diagnostic centre in the Hamilton suburb of Enderley.
Managing director Lady Tureiti Moxon says the pou are going up in advance of earthworks starting so people can see it’s a community project.
She expects the building to be completed by the end of 2023.
Head carver Rei Mihaere, says Kohao thought it would take a different approach from a typical construction fence, so it reminds visitors of a pā site.
He says the majority of the neighbourhood are whānau Māori.
