The erection of a sculpture at the site of the Glendale Transport Interchange has raised eyebrows.
There's speculation the cost of the 3 large intertwined metal rings near a planned roundabout at the Glendale Shopping Centre is almost half a million dollars.
The rings are meant to symbolize the linking of the communities of Cardiff and Glendale.
Residents have vented their ire on social media saying the money could've been better spent elsewhere.
Some comments on Lake Macquarie Council's Facebook page have described the sculpture as looking like over-sized hoola hoops, recycled Olympic rings from the Sydney 2000 games and a dog's chew toy.
