Tidy up for iconic loos

The iconic Matakana toilets are being refurbished to return them to their original condition.

The work involves a full washdown clean, replacement of hardware to match the original brass hardware, repainting of internal walls, re-staining the cedar cladding, replacing the ground lights with LED fittings, replacing missing artworks, and the extension of the existing post and rail fence behind the toilets, above the bank drop-off.

The toilets will be closed for most of May while the work is undertaken and portaloo toilets are in place.

The budget for the project is $31,500.
