Eliminating Urine Odours from Sand

Thanks all for the advice.
I'm going to give that stuff a go that Rixter recommended and will excavate the worst of it.
Most of the cats are leaving next week (my housemate has 1, plus 2 that his ex dumped on him). Not much I can do about the 3 or 4 neighbourhood cats though, but the panadol is mighty tempting.
Pavers arrive today, and tomorrow I'll be getting a bunch of fill to fill in another area prior to paving. I'll dig out the area and add some fill there. It will be hard work with the limited access, but hopefully I'll only have to do it once.

Hi Rixter (and others)
What I ended up doing, was digging the area out. It was tedious, and very stinky, and we ended up taking a trailer load of contaminated soil to the landfill.
I soaked the area with vinegar (so cheap, so why not), and filled it with clean fill.
The cats didn't mind the vinegar smell and were back to their old habits pretty quickly (though only once). The cats have now gone and the area is paved. The smell is pretty much gone, though there's probably one more small area that I need to excavate (easier access and maybe one wheelbarrow full, rather than a trailer load).
Anyway, problem solvered.

Puppeteer said:Hehe - yeah, I tried to get the other stuff, but no-one would give me a price or order it in. I just gave up in the end, and grabbed the shovel.
It's all paved now though. It'll be one serious cat that can get back to contaminating the soil now
Did you give the Toll free number a ring?
