Tokoroa Public Toilets
By MacDonald Industries
Project: New Tokoroa public toilets
Sector: Town Plaza
Location: Leith Place, Tokoroa, New Zealand
Client: Waikato District Council
Architect: DCA Architects Rotorua
Project complete: Completed March 2022
As part of the Leith Place upgrade, local council wanted to create a plaza area for visitors and locals to use, incorporate the existing Talking Poles into a forest, build new toilets and create a wow factor to attract passing traffic off the highway.
Leith Place toilets were designed by DCA Architects and were uniquely designed to represent the Southern Cross constellation, as a symbol of the different ethnicities and cultures that have used this navigation tool throughout history. Five individual toilet cylinders vary in height from seven to nine metres and consist of a stand-alone and enclosed toilet at the base. The cylinders are joined by a covered walkway.
MacDonald Industries were thrilled to work on this project with DCA Architects and supplied a variety of bathroom fittings such as Franke Stainless Steel Toilets and Basins and Delabie Timeflow taps.
MacDonald Industries understands the importance of incorporating durable, vandal resistant, low-maintenance and water-efficient products into public bathroom designs as well as ensuring a timeless design.
Leith Place toilets have been awarded the Waikato/BoP New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) award and a regional award from Architectural Design New Zealand (ADNZ) as well as being judged the country’s finest public bathroom by iconic Kiwi charity Keep New Zealand Beautiful.

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.
