Children playing at the playground next to The Lakes Neighbourhood Shopping Village will no longer have to hold it until they get home - the council has agreed to pay $120,000 for public toilets.
Funding was approved by the Tauranga City Council and it has gone into the 2017-18 Annual Plan.
Council staff said a public toilet would be a positive for this site with its close proximity to the commercial area and lake.
"The reserve performs a neighbourhood reserve function, and is showing the signs of becoming a popular local destination," staff said.
Residents made three submissions to the council in the latest round of Annual Plan submissions.
