New Ferns 'orb' sculpture to be raised in Wellington's Civic Square
Wellington's renowned sculpture Ferns being removed in 2015.
A replacement Ferns sculpture is set to be reinstalled at Wellington's Te Ngākau (Civic Square) after a three-year wait.
Wellington City Council has confirmed that a new version of the popular sculpture would be put in place on Wednesday.
The original Neil Dawson orb was removed from the site three years ago because it was worn out.
