You don't need to hold on any longer

The new public toilet facility at Company Square Reserve is open and ready for our community to access.

What's happening

As part of the 2020-21 public toilet plan, we proposed to replace and relocate the amenities building in Company Square Reserve, Alberton. The project was then included in the 2022–23 Capital Works program for public consultation and design.

The original building, which is adjacent to the tennis courts, is located away from other amenities like the playground, BBQ area, walkway and the open space on the northern side of the reserve. We felt that this was a great opportunity to relocate the toilets to a more suitable location.

The area selected for the new facility has the following benefits for users and the general community:

  • It improves access for all reserve users.
  • It is more central.
  • It is connected to the existing path.
  • It is closer to other amenities within the reserve.

Please see the aerial map shown for more information about the location of the new facility which has now been completed and is open to our community.

This engagement closed in August 2022. You can find out what we heard from our community by viewing the engagement summary below.

What we asked

During July and August 2022, we asked for your feedback on the proposed location for the new Company Square Reserve toilet facility and if you had any other feedback or concerns about the toilet replacement.

We sent a letter and hard copy survey to residents in close proximity to the reserve, as well as providing an online survey on Participate PAE.

What we heard

Key themes and concerns

  • Support for new location
  • Unisex toilets
  • Removal of any existing trees
  • Existing mural
  • Lighting at night

Next steps

Council staff have reviewed the feedback received from the consultation about the new public toilet building in Company Square Reserve and were satisfied that most residents are happy with the new location. We feel the location of the new public toilet building will benefit all users of the reserve and the general community as it is more central within the reserve, connected to the existing path and closer to other amenities such as the playground and BBQ area.

We have now complete construction of the new public toilet building and the facility is available for public use. Artwork on the new building is planned to begin soon, with the artist who painted the original artwork offering the opportunity for local community members to help paint the new mural. Flyers will be provided to residents adjoining the reserve about this opportunity once a timeline has been finalised.

We would like to thank you for providing valuable feedback on the proposal and for your interest in the project.
