Call to support Lyall Bay community facility
Any day there’s a hint of sun and/or swell you’ll find thousands of surfers, dog walkers, runners, walkers, sunbathers, onlookers and others gathering at the Eastern/airport end of Lyall Bay.
Yet the facilities to service these groups are low or non-existent. The nearest toilet facility is a kilometre away and there are no play areas, picnic tables, bike racks or lockers.
Two local Lyall Bay parents Dan Eves and Sloan McPhee saw the opportunity to solve the facility issues by creating a gathering space for the community.
Eves and McPhee worked with a wider group of local volunteers to develop the concept further and gain input from the wider community.
The result is a concept that intends to be totally inclusive in design giving wheelchair users and other beach goers a panoramic view of the bay, skating facilities, picnic table and a Changing Places bathroom (with useful features to meet the needs of people who cannot use standard accessible toilets).
The group are urging locals to tell the council what they think of the idea.

Cast your mind back to when Aotearoa New Zealand had a 5¢ coin, and try to figure out this one, neighbours 🧰
A man went to the hardware store to buy items for his house.
One would cost $.25
Twelve would cost $.50
A hundred and twenty-two would cost $.75
When he left the store he had spent $.75, what did he buy?
