Visitors and residents in Tekapo will now have another opportunity to take a break, and look at the view.
A new facility, including toilets, has been completed at the junction of Hamilton Drive and the Fairlie-Tekapo Road on the eastern side of town.
As well as toilets, the new Hamilton Drive site has a number of amenities including:
- Picnic tables
- Bike stands and shelter
- Campervan waste disposal unit
- Trash compactor
The new facility is also near the Tekapo start of the popular Alps 2 Ocean Trail.
The new toilets are pay operated with payWave at $1.50 and the option of coin payment at $2.00 will be available soon.
The facility will be officially opened on Wednesday 23 July at approximately 2.00pm by Acting Mayor Karen Morgan, Chair of the Tekapo Community Board Steve Howes, and Councillor for Tekapo Matt Murphy.
This toilets, bike shelter and picnic tables were funded from council’s capital work programme. We’re grateful to the team at Dimension Building and pleased to report that the project came in on budget.
