Our new public toilet facility at Largs Bay Foreshore is open and ready for our community to access.
The existing public toilet was situated on the foreshore next to the jetty and was a highly used but ageing facility. In line with our Public Toilet Plan to provide accessible, safe, convenient and hygienic toilets, we prioritised this toilet for replacement during the 2023/2024 financial year.
The replacement toilet has a contemporary appearance and complies with current accessibility standards. The Changing Places facility provides a fully accessible public toilet with change table and hoist for people with severe or profound disability, to help make Largs Bay an accessible and inclusive destination for all people. The design incorporates crime prevention principles and protection of the Norfolk Pines surrounding the existing toilet.
Between the 8 August and 5 September, we asked you to provide your feedback on two proposed design options for the new toilet block and provide your overall feedback on the facility layout and included amenities.
There were several opportunities for the community to provide feedback, including:
44 submissions (37%) requested female only toilets. Of these, 26 raised concerns about safety and privacy and 15 raised concerns with hygiene.
We have taken this feedback onboard, and will now provide 2 x female cubicles, 2 x male cubicles and 4 x all gender cubicles. We are also reviewing the design to address some of the concerns raised surrounding safety and privacy.
14 submissions mentioned the existing art murals. 11 of these sumbissions would like to see the murals preserved or included in the new design.
We are working with the artists and landscape architects to incorporate the murals into the new design. The final design will incorporate a reproduction of both mosaics in greyscale at the entrance to the facilities, facing the waterside. See more details under our FAQs.
7 submissions mentioned the Changing Places facility with 100% positive feedback.
