Tauranga's first accessible changing facility

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Jo Crean and student Laren Haworth from Tauranga Special School joined us to celebrate the opening of our city’s first accessible changing facility at Hopukiore - Mount Drury Reserve in Mount Maunganui.

The school, with the support of the Tauranga Disability Advisory Group, advocated for the facility on behalf our disabled community, who will be better able to enjoy our coastal environment.

We’ve also teamed up with Changing Places NZ to become a facility within its New Zealand network.
