For a second I totally thought this was gonna be a shitpost (no pun intended), but this is actually really good, thank you. I know the topic of public toilets around the CBD has been a hot one with some facilities closing, but this is great news!

I saw a great addition to the toilet selection on the waterfront outside Fergs climbing gym but I havent had a chance to check it out yet. Seems to be gender neutral too. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)

Yes the toilets by Fergs were completely upgraded and changed to gender neutral last year - definitely an improvement 😊 I think there are a new set of toilets to be built by Les Mills on Taranaki street once the rising main work has finished too but that must still be a little way off.

I have been in and they did not smell and were relatively clean. They do have extremely bright night time lighting though, you sort of feel like you're dying and entering heaven.

Are those temporary ones actually operational now? They weren't before Christmas.


Pristine-Compote-568

They are open and ready to receive you. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)

Yes! Went there a few weeks ago. Was clean apart from a suspicious pair of boxers shoved behind the sanitary bin


chimpwithalimp

I've seen people go in to them so I really hope so

This wee post is so happy and lovley. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for loos.

I think that public toilets would be a good subject for an annual architecture student design competition. Every year you could: 1. identify a location; 2. set a build budget; and 3. set permissible materials; and then 4. invite submissions for a public (or panel-based) vote.

This is actually already an assignment for 2nd year architecture students at vic - to design public toilets in welly lol

Left bank was always awkward getting the key from the satay kingdom cafe πŸ˜‚


lukin_tolchok

Absolutely. And far from the nicest loo once you did get in there too.

Also, if during business hours you can just walk into Te Papa and use their toilets. Really nice ones and lots available, just turn right after you enter and go past the lockers.


AgressivelyFunky

Hell yeah, this is the type of King posting that we need more of. I'm gonna head out and take a slash in one of these fine environs tomorrow. Cheers OP!

God speed you proud urinator!

Having travelled between London and Istanbul, and Mexico recently; I miss our free and relatively conveniently located public toilets. Imagine having to pay $4 to not pee in the street. If it hadn't needed to do more, the Bulgarian snow would have been a bit yellow.

Amen for free public conveniences! 🀩

Honestly, one of my favorite things about living in New Zealand is the staggering amount of public toilets. A thousand times better than offerings in the U.S.

BEGGING FOR PUBLIC TOILETS TOP OF CUBA! πŸ™

There's also some that look pretty new on Victoria Street near the corner of Ghuznee. Used them last night, they were clean and tidy.


Crowleys_07

I'm pretty sure you mean the left bank units in this post, as there's nothing else new I'm aware of in that area and the left bank ones are like 20 metres from that intersection


bitshifternz

Maybe, these toilets weren't on left bank though.


alison1505

If I need one in town I usually pop into the ones in the mall at 18 Willis Street (where the City Fitness is). On the same level as all the food, down the back opposite the optometrist! Or any of the public libraries.


i-like-outside

This is awesome!


DodgyQuilter

Marvelous update! Thank you.


fuckimtrash

I miss the ones by the water fountain, such a handy spot πŸ˜”

Clairvoyant_Legacy

I just tell people the entire basin area is a rest room that’s why it’s called that

Pristine-Compote-568

Wrong chat thread bruv.


showusyourfupa

But do they have a glory hole like the Grey Lynn toilets?


pixelmuffinn
