Port Macquarie Hastings-Council have provided community grant funds, which the B2B Committee has used to pay local artists to create public art pieces. Art works are displayed along five amenity blocks throughout the 11km pathway, between North Haven and Pilot Beach. “Art Along the Path grew from the positive feedback regarding the sculptures that had already been installed in places on the path by B2B,” said B2B President Penny Small. “The art works provide enjoyment, they have diminished graffiti and form additional points of interest as you walk or ride the pathway.” The next section of the B2B Pathway (D5) is set to commence construction at the end of March.
