The Memorial Square Public Toilet redevelopment is an important community project that will see the replacement of the existing toilets with a new and improved facility.
The project aims to create a high quality facility that caters to people of all ages and abilities, reduces queuing times, encourages use of Memorial Square, local shops and exploration of Colac and creates a positive impression for visitors.
The draft design features Colac Otway Shire’s first Changing Places Facility (a customised adult change facility), family room with baby change table and junior toilet, separate accessible cubicle and will increase from 5 toilets to 14. All cubicles in the new facility will be gender neutral, with the exception of the urinals.
The redevelopment also proposes improvements to pedestrian connections and parking arrangements that service the facility, with a particular focus on providing accessible car parking, minimising congestion from tour buses and other visitor traffic and maximising parking for Memorial Square as a key destination within Colac.
Draft designs have been prepared with preliminary input from the local bus and taxi companies, disability groups and local traders.
You can find out more about Changing Places on their website.
