A green carpet of astro-turf is to be rolled out under the canopies in the first stage of a city centre makeover.
It will set the scene for a makeover day on October 4 that will see community volunteers create a new area where shoppers and workers can gather and relax. The work will include the installation of three funky seats, colourful tables, chairs and beanbags and a portable stage in the space between the I-site and the carpark.
"Im thrilled to see this transformation beginning. Its all about making our city centre more appealing and vibrant, and encouraging people to stay and relax," says Porirua Deputy Mayor Ana Coffey.
"This is the beginning of a gradual change that we believe will alter the way people use this area. We are encouraging businesses to be involved by putting out chairs and tables where appropriate and Council will be working to make it easy for them to get approval."
Cr Coffey is a member of the community volunteer makeover team that was formed following the "Reclaim the Canopies" placemaking workshop lead by international urbanist David Engwicht in May this year.
In the first stage of work, the 300sqm of turf will be laid over several days from Monday, September 29 and during that time the area will be fenced.
On October 4, the community makeover team will move in to install three large wooden seats with two sides that will allow people to lounge on one side or sit upright on the other. A portable stage will be set up on the edge of the astro turf (near the alleyway to Ferry Place).
It can be used for a variety of events or simply serve as another seating area when not in use.
Colourful bean bags, chairs and tables will be placed around the astro-turf each day for shoppers to use. Planter boxes will help add another splash of colour, as will an art installation that will involve winding colourful ribbons around the canopy cross-beams.

Porirua City Centre make-over begins
Southern Californians walking into the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing might wonder whether theyve stepped through a time-space portal and been beamed back to Burbank or Hollywood.
Painted palm trees soar up the walls of a giant atrium. A large Oscar statuette, the kind that normally shows up along the red carpet on Academy Awards night, stands sentry on another surface. Nearby, theres a life-size rendering of a portable trailer that would shelter a movie star on set between takes, and oh look -- theres a two-dimensional studio-lot golf cart too.
On a recent weekday , L.A. artist Alex Israel was bouncing a bit nervously around the space as a team of Chinese scenic artists applied the finishing touches to his sprawling mural, Star Waggons.
Israel -- who normally works out of the Warner Bros. studio lot and often riffs on the themes of celebrity culture, entertainment and the Hollywood lifestyle -- is one of seven artists featured in the Ullens Centers The Los Angeles Project.
The show, which opened Sept. 13 and runs through mid-November in Beijings 798 Arts District, is billed as the first extensive presentation of L.A. artists in China.
Los Angeles is kind of at the center of a bunch of different trends, said Ullens Center Director Philip Tinari, who curated the show with Paula Tsai.
You have some great forces drawing artists there. You have the schools but you also have actual workable, affordable studio space. And its hit this critical mass that -- aside from New York -- its really the only place in the States where you have a major concentration of artists, galleries and increasingly, institutions.
While L.A.s status as a buzzy, dynamic hotbed of cultural production alone would be enough to justify such a show, Tinari said the project was given extra impetus by some personal connections between L.A. and Ullens Center founders Guy and Myriam Ullens, whose son-in-law Laurent Degryse is on the board of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
After spending time in both cities, Tinari said, they realized that despite popular notions that Los Angeles and Beijing, as Pacific Rim metropolises, share strong, specific cultural connections, in fact the relationship is largely imagined, and ties between the two cultural capitals are actually rather weak.
Theres actually very little connection, or even mutual awareness, between the art scenes of the two cities, so it just seemed really interesting to kind of short-circuit that and in a way just bring L.A. to Beijing said Tinari, noting that while a great number of Chinese artists ventured abroad in the last 20 years, New York and Paris were more popular destinations than Los Angeles for both commercial and creative reasons. L.A. has never really been in the collective imagination of the Chinese art scene in a major way."

Ronald L. Butch Blake
PIERRE | Ever start a remodeling project that just kept getting bigger and bigger? Thats what is under way in the Legislatures chambers on the third and fourth floors of the South Dakota Capitol.
The work was triggered by the stained-glass rehabilitation in the rotunda, over the grand staircase and in the ceilings above the Senate and House of Representatives.
The rebuilt frames carrying freshly cleaned glass began going back in place in the past week and will be finished by Nov. 1 for the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of statehood.
The two stories of scaffolding necessary to reach the glass in the legislative chambers required moving the 35 desks in the Senate and the 70 desks in the House.
With the desks moved, the Legislatures Executive Board decided to proceed with installation of new communication cabling to each desks spot. That work begins Monday, Sept. 15, and is scheduled to finish Sept. 26.
The new system features snap-link connections so desks can be moved as needed in the future without severing the cables.
The vendor, International Roll Call, will send technicians back to put in audio equipment starting Oct. 6 and with completion set for Oct. 17.
While the desks were moved, the state Bureau of Administration cleaned the House chambers carpet earlier this month. Cleaning is planned for the Senate carpet Sept. 24-25.
State officials didnt know whether the carpets needed to be replaced and wanted to see how they looked after cleaning.
It has been decided it is not acceptable, Lou Adamson, a member of the Legislative Research Council, told lawmakers on the Executive Board at their meeting Sept. 9.

State capitol fix-up project continues to grow in size and scope
SEBRING For the past 20 years, it hasnt been anymore distinctive or inviting than the floor of a warehouse or a hospital.
The faded, gray carpet is spotted with a variety of stain spots, the vinyl-tiled floor scarred by scratches and shoe marks.
But by today, home should be a lot more homier for the six girls who live at the Hansen House, 4300 Sparta Road, an emergency shelter and residential program for abused and abandoned teenage girls ages 13 to 17 years old.
Through a corporate partnership, the Hansen House is getting a new, 900- to 1,000-square-foot high-end laminate floor installed to make the home safer, cleaner and more accommodating as its 20th anniversary approaches.
Lowes Home Improvement Sebring selected the Childrens Home Society of Floridas Hansen House as its 2014 local Lowes Heroes project community improvement projects the store has funded since 1957. Each year, Lowes employees team up to provide support to local communities as part of the Lowes Heroes employee volunteer program. The company-wide program encourages employees in a location to work together, adopt a volunteer project with a local nonprofit organization or K-12 public school, and make a difference, according to its website.
Shannon Littlefield, assistant store manager at Lowes Sebring, 2050 North U.S. 27, said 12 store employees and two flooring staff along with store manager Ron Staack would begin at 9 a.m. today and Sunday ripping and taking out the old carpet and replacing it with the laminate flooring. Measurements for the new floor were taken the week of Aug. 18 and the new floor will be installed in the dining room, living room, hallway to bedrooms and into a back living area.
Our employees like doing things like this. They like getting out in the community and helping out on activities like this, said Littlefield, who said the retail value of the flooring is about $1,900.
As she pointed out rips and stains around the carpet and current flooring, Carmen Barone, Hansen House resident supervisor, said the carpet is in highly-trafficked areas in a house full of girls, so the wear gets worse and worse. In her eighth year at the home, she said the rug was replaced once about seven years ago and its the first time the tiled floor has ever been replaced.
We focus a lot on normalcy. The kids walk back and forth, food and stuff falls and now it will be easier to maintain, she said. Its dirty and depressing now and you can see where a lot of stuff has fallen; we spend a lot of money trying to keep that carpet clean.
Amanda Clemens Hidalgo is communications and marketing specialist for the Childrens Home Society of Florida, a child-advocacy organization founded in 1907 that fosters children, strengthens families and assist teens struggling to survive on their own. She said its important for residents at Hansen House to feel like they are at home and new flooring can go a long way toward giving them that feeling.
