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.
