Section 2: Asset Description 2.12.1 Provision How can Public Toilets be provided for the Community? • Council Provision. • Private Provision. • Provision by DOC. • Community Provision. • Combination of above. 2.12.2 How we provide this Service The Council may act as the sole provider and operator of public toilets or as a partner provider in agreement with organisations or communities. Marlborough is subject to transitory tourist and seasonal labour populations for which the Council acknowledges the need for public toilets, namely in areas of recognised congregation such as public camping grounds. Toilets in these areas are often provided by the Department of Conservation, commercial operators or employers [private provision]. Public toilet provision is guided by NZS4241:1999 Public Toilets for design and servicing and NZS8603:1992 Symbols for international signage standards. 2.12.3 Are there any Negative Effects from Public Toilets? • Neighbouring properties of reserves may have the perception “Not in my backyard”. • Vandalism. • Inappropriate use or activity of public toilets making them appear unattractive and unsafe to the community. • Inability to provide adequate maintenance and timely servicing, specifically in remote locations. 2.12.4 Significant Assumptions, Uncertainties and Risk Management Service will be maintained during and following an emergency as per contract specifications and/or pandemic response policy. Risks associated with absence of provision: Public health of people finding alternative places to urinate and defecate. 2.13 Aquatic Facilities This activity contributes towards a range of community outcomes by promoting safe and accessible swimming opportunities for the community. This Asset Management Plan does not include Stadium 2000 as the appropriate demand and supply analysis and community satisfaction surveys for the Marlborough Stadium aquatic facilities are carried out by the facility operators and where necessary are discussed with the Council to assist short and long-term decision-making. For further detail refer to Stadium 2000 Annual Report. Page 36
