The Wellington City Council has been told it needs to do more to eradicate sexual violence.
At today's Social, Cultural and Economic Committee meeting councillors received an update on the so-called Pōneke Promise, detailing steps to make the CBD safer, including more information on moving a problematic toilet block in Te Aro Park.
"Due to the block's physical layout, sight lines into the toilet area are concealed, secluded and the entrances are not on major pedestrian routes. Creating a more open space would assist with making the park safer," the report said.
"A new preferred location has been identified as the corner of Taranaki St and Inglewood Place with further investigation of the site suitability now under way... the project is expected to be delivered within an 18-month timeframe."
