Oceana Gold’s Reefton Legacy: A Blend of History, Nature & Innovation

We’re proud to have completed the installation of these striking information panels for Oceana Gold, overlooking the stunning man-made lake at the Globe Mine site above Reefton.

Crafted from corten steel with sleek floating panels, they beautifully blend modern storytelling with echoes of the site’s rich history.

The panels detail the incredible transformation of this area—from bustling mining operations to an evolving ecological landscape—while seamlessly integrating into the rugged West Coast environment.

Alongside this installation, thousands of native plants are finding their home here, supporting the ongoing revegetation project and ensuring that this space will thrive for generations to come.

If you’re exploring the Reefton hills, take the time to stop by and absorb the stories captured in steel and stone.
