Have your say on Jubilee Park toilet rebuild

Published on 06 November 2024

Corangamite Shire Council is proposing to replace the old conveniences at Jubilee Park in Skipton.

Acting Manager Facilities and Recreation Jane Hinds invited residents to share their opinion and ideas.

“Hygiene, accessibility, safety and appearance are all really important and we want the people who will be using the facilities to have a part in getting it right,” Ms Hinds said.

“Come and meet our team at Skipton Spring Festival on Saturday 9 November to share your ideas. Our engineers have come up with a number of alternative designs and we want to hear from each community about which best suits their needs.”

Option 1: Two unisex, accessible toilets

Option 2: Two unisex, accessible toilets and a shelter

Option 3: Three unisex toilets (one accessible, one ambulant and one standard)

Option 4: Three unisex toilets (one accessible, one ambulant and one standard) and a shelter

Ms Hinds said the new facility will have an accessible toilet with a baby change table.

“The designs incorporate features aimed at minimising operation and maintenance costs over the lifespan of the new blocks, such as stainless steel fittings and fixtures.

“Good planning now will enable us to design and build efficient and environmentally smart facilities to that use less water and energy and produce less greenhouse gas and waste.”

Possible environmentally sustainable concepts and initiatives include:

• Natural light
• Low energy fixtures
• Natural ventilation
• Light-coloured and reflective internal surfaces
• Dual flush systems
• Time controlled taps
• Flow regulators on taps
• Water efficient fixtures.
