Visitors to the Mackenzie will begin paying for a toilet stop from Waitangi weekend next year, after councillors approved the district-wide user-pays strategy.
In no universe am I downloading an app to take a piss, I’ll just piss in the bushes thanks.
Maybe feed some of the GST collected on purchases back to councils to keep infrastructure like this free to use.
Visitor levies are not being shared equally to the places that visitors are going; central government is a major beneficiary of visitors without having to foot the bill for services provided.
There are other funding options; but I bet that sweet sweet data is a major driver of this initiative.
