Boyes Beach | Rotorua
By MacDonald Industries
Project: New toilet and shower facilities
Sector: Park
Location: Millar Road, Lake Okareka, Rotorua
Client: Rotorua Lakes Council and Lake Okareka Community
Architects: Bishop Architecture
Building Contractor: GRB Construction
Plumber: Van der Maat Plumbing and Drainage Ltd
Project completion: Completed October 2020
Boyes Beach on Lake Okareka is a popular spot for swimming, fishing and picnics, consisting of BBQs, picnic tables, toilets, a playground and a designated overnight parking area for campervans and motorhomes.
The recently completed toilet and shower block replaces the old public toilets and adds family rooms, indoor and outdoor showers, dishwashing facilities and wash down pads for cleaning sports equipment to protect the biodiversity of the lake.
GRB Construction with Bishop Architecture was awarded the design & build contract to work on this state of the art toilet and shower block. The brief provided included facilities for multiple users, each with unique requirements. The building design uses wood as structural components and as feature elements alongside concrete tilt slab walls and takes inspiration from the landscape surrounding the lake.
MacDonald Industries collaborated with Bishop Architecture to provide bathroom fixtures and fittings for the build. “This project is located in a beautiful spot within the Rotorua Lakes area. It was important to select fittings that are going to cope with high traffic demand, are reliable and continue to look good for the community in years to come” Bishop Architecture

Bathrooms for public buildings have a unique set of requirements.
Unlike residential environments these bathrooms can be subject to intermittent, intensive use by a range of diverse users over short and long periods of time. Solutions need to provide robust, efficient and cost effective whole-of-life outcomes. Hydraulic design with the appropriate behind and front-of-wall fittings are vital for the long term viability of a commercial bathroom.
