Roxburgh and District Community Plan group chairman Rod
Lambert, of Roxburgh, holds the designs for new signage for
Millers Flat, Ettrick, Lake Roxburgh, the Teviot Valley,
and Roxburgh where one would be sited at the southern end
of the town where he stands next to the Quail Haven
subdivision.
New entrance signage for Roxburgh, Ettrick and Millers
Flat townships is likely to be completed by April next year.
Roxburgh and District Community Plan group chairman Rod
Lambert said the designs for the signs had been done by
Buchan Design Central Otago, which he would present to the
Central Otago District Council for approval within a month.
A total of five signs have been designed, each standing about
three metres high.
"We've got money to do at least three of them," Mr Lambert
said.
"By April 2010, we would hope to have all the township signs
done, then the [Teviot] valley signs should follow probably
the year after, I would think."
Permission had been received by Contact Energy for a sign at
Millers Flat and New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) had
given approval for signage at Roxburgh, Ettrick and two
Teviot Valley signs, he said.
All but the Teviot Valley signage depicted old revetted
sluice pipes used during the 19th century for gold mining.
"They should be good, these signs. They're big and impressive
and the sluice pipes give them character."
Following council approval, a sign would be sited at Lake
Roxburgh at the bottom of Tamblyn Dve on council reserve
land, he said.
Single-sided signs would be placed at the north end of
Roxburgh opposite the Quail Haven sub-division, and for the
south end opposite the Roxburgh Golf Course.
A two-sided sign for Ettrick would be placed between the
Ettrick Dairy and the ENZA Cool Store and another at Millers
Flat between Bentley Motors and the Millers Flat Bridge.
One Teviot Valley sign would be situated on the south side of
SH8 south of the walkway to Horse Shoe Bridge on the left
side of the road entering Millers Flat.
The other would be situated on SH8 about 200m north of the
Lake Roxburgh turn off, on the left-hand side of the road
welcoming people to the Teviot Valley.
