More pavers from George St in Dunedin are set to be reused by community groups and residents in various landscaping projects.

The pavers were removed from the retail area during an upgrade and the latest round of applications for pallets of them closes tomorrow. Each pallet contains 400 pavers and there is no charge.

Dunedin City Council project manager Vicci Holdsworth said previous rounds had led to pavers being reused for walkways, garden beds and artworks. Submissions are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, but applications from community groups have priority.

"We’re keen to see the remaining pavers reused by people in the community, particularly for projects that benefit the community", Ms Holdsworth said.

The Tomahawk-Smaills Beach Care Trust was one group that got involved previously, using the pavers to improve accessibility at its nursery.

"We are so pleased to hear that other groups will have a chance to make use of the rest of the pavers", nursery manager Nicole Bezemer said.
