Q4: How are your different changing and showering facilities labelled and described?

Ruapehu provided a table with good sex based signage in English and Te Reo.

We follow the Recreation Aotearoa Guidelines (as attached)

Our Verdict

Another Council convinced they are following the law. Their signs need updating to reflect the fact that they prioritise gender identity over sex.
