LMCC has been reviewing their Public Toilet Strategy of late.
The recommendations for our local facilities include:
close and demolish the toilet located at the Pony Club, Carey Bay-no evidence of usage and not on the cleaning schedule,
close and demolish the the brick toilet at Wombal Reserve, Rofe Street-limited use and cleaned three times a week.
A full Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessment will be done on the facilities at Gurranba and Birriban Reserves and then the facilities reviewed. The strategy states that these toilets have low usage and are cleaned three times a week.
The CPPA lodged a submission for reconsideration of the close and demolish recommendations and a reprieve on the Pony Club decision was granted to allow for community feedback.
The Pony Club facility was of particular interest to the CPPA. The VegeTTable group had considered the toilet an asset if a community garden was to go ahead, as the only flat land this side of Toronto, the Pony Club site may develop potential as an outdoor exercise area as the population ages and housing density increases. The removal of a public toilet in this area was considered a retrograde step.
The CPPA has given an undertaking to LMCC to promote the proposed closures and collate community feedback by mid July. If you have some thoughts about the locations, usage and future of the public toilet facilities in our community please forward your comments to CPPA by 13/7/11 either by email coalpointprogress@gmail.com.au, the blog, a short postal note or phone call.
