Wyndham City continues to roll out new public toilets across open spaces and parks in the city and invites feedback on the latest expected installations.
This includes four new toilets expected to be installed in:
• Everton Road Park, Truganina
• Hodgson Avenue Park, Tarneit
• Tom Roberts Reserve, Point Cook
• Spearmint Boulevard Park, Manor Lakes
The program of public toilet installation follows research that shows that access to safe and clean toilets is a drawcard for visitors to Wyndham City's wonderful network of parks and open spaces. It enables families to travel further and stay longer, boosting a sense of wellbeing.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Jennie Barrera, said these parks were identified as locations for public toilets as part of Wyndham City's Public Toilet Policy.
"There's gaps in our existing network of public toilets and we're often asked for new installations," she said.
"To achieve the vision set out in Plan Melbourne for liveable neighbourhoods, facilities such as public toilets must be available in our open space network."
"Council has mapped current toilet facilities, identified issues with their provision and management, and developed an Implementation Framework - this result being a destination-based approach to providing public toilets."
