POSTPONEMENT of Cultural Storyboards opening and blessing

Waitomo District Council, with the support of Ngāti Rōrā, have made a call to POSTPONE the official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards. This is due to areas of the walkway suffering from washouts and flooding from recent weather events. The installation of the storyboards and blessing will be held later in the year, which will allow for the walkway to be repaired and stabilised. We thank you for your understanding.

Improvements planned for Mokau public toilets

23 May 2019, 1:09 PM

Waitomo District Council will soon start work to improve the quality of the public toilets in Mokau, to ensure residents and visitors to the District have access to safe, clean and attractive facilities.  

The facility located on State Highway 3 will be painted inside and out and refurbished with new flooring, toilet bowls and seats.  The sewage catchment chamber and filtration tank will be upgraded.

Funding for this work was provided for in Council's Long Term Plan 2018-2028 (LTP).  The LTP also provides for a new public toilet facility for Mokau, provided that external funding from the Government's Tourism Infrastructure Fund (TIF) is received. The outcome of WDC's application is yet to be confirmed.

Temporary toilets will be available during this work.
