That is the question bugging Liz Hall, the woman instrumental in having a 650m ceramic tile walkway laid along the Wanaka lakefront in 2000.
The lakefront reserve near the Wanaka CBD is up for remodelling and Auckland landscape architect Garth Falconer has designed a range of features for the Queenstown Lakes District Council and the public to consider.
Ms Hall told the Otago Daily Times this week she was concerned the walkway did not feature in some of the options Mr Falconer presented.
"I just don't think they've thought through the tile thing at all. They've totally forgotten about it.''
The area of main concern was south from the 1666 Great Fire of London tile at the end of Dungarvon St, where a change of car parking is suggested.
Ms Hall noted the walkway was in a different place in some options, meaning the tiles would have to be shifted. She did not believe that could be done without damaging them.
Ms Hall and members of the Wanaka Residents Association had put considerable work into maintaining the tiles, she said.
"I think it's just worth leaving them where they are ... and work whatever they want to do down there around them''.
Ms Hall said in 1999 she was working for the council in community development when a call went out for millennium project ideas.
One resident suggested a hopscotch trail along the foreshore, and that developed into the trail, which marks significant events in the world, New Zealand and Wanaka over 2000 years.
The $35,000 project was paid for by the Community Trust of Otago, the Lotteries Commission and sponsors who paid $100 per tile.
Ms Hall researched events for each year and volunteers inscribed the information on to the tiles.
"It was a real, full, community project,'' Ms Hall said.
"So it's worth protecting, not only because it was a community project but for what it is.''
Mr Falconer could not be reached for comment yesterday.
