Loos ready for first flush


Work is nearly finished on the construction of a $1.2 million toilet block in the William Fraser Reserve at Omaha Beach, which is due to open before Christmas.

A Rodney Local Board spokesperson says the power was due to be connected last week before a final inspection.

The toilet block includes seven toilets, urinals, changing rooms and outdoor showers.

However, the outside showers won’t be operable until the bore water supply is upgraded to a potable standard, which will happen next year.

The new facilities will replace the current public toilets and shower at the surf club.
