New Toilets To Be Ready For Summer
Visitors to Kaikōura this summer can expect to use some new toilets.
The Kaikōura District Council has ordered new prefabricated units to replace the existing West End toilet in the town centre.
Council chief executive Will Doughty said the new facilities were on track to be in use by the end of November.
‘‘We are working through the final details and the temporary arrangements, so we’ve got some facilities while the change over is made.
‘‘We are hoping to have it completed by Christmas because we don’t want the work to carry on over that busy period.
‘‘The ongoing maintenance has been the biggest issue, especially post-quake, so we will be looking forward to having new facilities.’’
The council is also replacing the Mill Road toilets at the northern end of the town, which are heavily used by travellers.
New toilets will also be installed at Churchill Park.
The project is being funded by a $900,000 grant from the previous Government’s ‘‘Better Off’’ fund and a $135,860 grant from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
