New options for Black Rock Foreshore Public Toilet

Following feedback received from the community on the proposed location for a new public toilet at Black Rock foreshore, we paused the project and reviewed the decision.

We commissioned an independent report to explore alternative locations. Read the Black Rock Foreshore Public Toilet Independent Report.

In selecting a suitable location for a new public toilet in this location, the following important factors need to be considered:

close to public amenities (picnic area, playground, shared path, coastal trail and beach) highly visible for safety (Crime Prevention Through Urban Design - CPTED) and accessibility has access to underground infrastructure is sympathetic to environmental and cultural heritage concerns uses an existing path to aid access for people with mobility issues or parents with prams does not obstruct views to the bay.

The independent report recommends Option B which is partially hidden by bushes over to the right from the clocktower facing the bay. We invite your feedback on this location and the other options in the report. Head to our website to see an interactive map of all the locations and let us know what you like and don't like about each of the options: bayside.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay

Consultation closes on 23 December 2020 and construction will begin in early 2021, following consideration of the community feedback and obtaining relevant approvals and permits.
