Local Hero Award

Mayor Helen Lash presented Hari Hari resident Helene Hindman with her 2023 Local Hero Award on 17 April at the Hari Hari Community Meeting. Helene received the award to recognise her tireless dedication to the creation, development, enhancement, and maintenance of the Hari Hari community park. The park stands as a testament to her dedication, providing an excellent setting for both locals and visitors in a serene ambience. It’s a place cherished by all – young and old. Her selfless efforts have gifted Hari Hari with something truly remarkable.

South Westland Area School have taken the park on as a special interest project, helping to weed and maintain it and adding more art.

The latest project ‘The Chair’ will be covered in ceramics when it is completed.
