Our mission to improve public facilities continues with the installation of a new public toilet next to the Waimea River fishing ponds on Challies Road.
This recreation area is growing in popularity, so a toilet facility was required to support hygiene and to limit the effects of human use on the environment as defined in the Waimea River Park Management Plan.
Development of the Waimea River Park, which runs on either side of the Waimea River between Appleby and Brightwater, began more than a decade ago.
The new single-pan toilet with a contained chamber was built in the main car park near the fishponds. The toilet lights are run on solar power.
This new facility is now up and running and ready for the busy summer season.
