$3.7 million for a toilet block!

Stuff reports:

The construction of a toilet block in south Auckland set the council back more than $3.7 million.

The development of toilets and changing rooms at Ōpaheke reserve in south Auckland was the most expensive, at $3.7 million for the 380sqm block.

So ratepayers forked over around $10,000 per square metre for a toilet block and changing rooms. Now standard builds for habitation are around $3,500 per sq metre. At $7,000 per square metre you get your architecturally designed dream home. Yet this toilet block and changing rooms comes in well above that!
