Work on the installation of Devonport’s new stunning entrance markers is expected to start by the end of the year.
Concrete footings will be poured in coming weeks, with the installations expected to be completed by the end of January.
The markers will be located at seven different locations, with the entrance markers to be installed next to the Bass highway at Don and East Devonport.
The seven metre tall markers are made from recycled glass and will feature internal programmable projectors, which can be changed, to reflect Devonport’s cultural, maritime and natural stories interacting with light, wind and water.
Other installations will be situated at Spreyton and East Devonport near the Spirit of Tasmania terminal.
The projects are costing $1.15 million, provided by State and Federal Governments.
The City of Burnie received similar funding under the North West Gateway Improvements Programme, erecting its controversial yellow welcome wave sculpture, which has been compared to McDonalds fries.
There’s a sneak preview of the Devonport projects on the Devonport City Council’s Facebook page.
