Work is expected to start in mid-April to replace the longstanding brick building with a modern building.
The $1.2 million project will see eight new toilets, two showers, a double external shower, two changing rooms, a drinking station and a new seating area.
The building will have a beach-themed exterior in response to community feedback.
The old brick building had served users well but had reached the end of its life, said Devonport Takapuna Local Board chair Aidan Bennett.
“In 2018 we sought feedback from the community on what they would like to see here so I am sure everyone is excited to see it get underway.”
The areas will be fenced off during construction and four portaloos will be installed in the reserve for public use.
Construction is expected to take about three months, pending weather conditions.
Looking to buy vintage men's wristwatches for a fair price.
Cheers.

The NZ Parliament is currently consulting on a proposal for congestion charges for Auckland. Submissions can be made online and close on Thursday 20 May 2021.
Parliament are wanting to know your views on different congestion charge options, such as when entering the city centre, or using "strategic corridors". They are proposing to start rolling out these charges when the City Rail Link opens.
To me it appears from the attached map that Parliament are suggesting that the lower North Shore could be included in Phase 1 (2025) or Phase 2 (2028) of the roll-out. Does that mean that they are proposing congestion charges for Onewa Road and Lake Road (Takapuna/Devonport)?
Please have your say on whether or not you support being charged to travel to/from the city centre, and to use "strategic corridors" which may include Onewa Road and Lake Road.

This plant has been extracted from my garden, and is sitting against a Bin.
Roughly 110 cm High x Approx 80 cm leaf width.
Agave is the most popular Landscape plant for poor soil and drought susceptible areas.
It needs no watering and is resilient in all conditions.
Yes you can! NZ Gardener's DIY guru Jacob Leaf shows you how.

Each zone will contain one unit of 4 cameras, making a total of 68 cameras on Onewa Road!
Each unit includes:
* 1x scene camera (monitors whether the vehicle travelled the whole zone; sometimes it will also look at the transit lane sign for evidential purposes)
* 1x sign camera to monitor the transit lane sign if the scene camera cannot see the sign (in some instances this may be mounted on a street light pole opposite the unit)
* One relocatable pole mounted camera housing, containing:
- 1x side occupant camera (looks at the side of the vehicle to determine how many occupants are in the car)
- 1x front occupant camera (looks at the car approaching the unit, collects number plate details, and also confirms occupants in front seats).
This week Auckland Transport have been investigating sites on the City to Birkenhead side of the road for transit lane cameras.
Meanwhile, we should be hearing from Auckland Transport on the results of the clearway consultation around May.
