Public Toilet Strategy 2013 - City of Armadale

20 RECOMMENDATIONS
20.1 Recommendations: Development of new facilities or destinations
20.1.1 Sporting Reserves
It is crucial that in all future master plans, as identified by The Active Sporting Reserves and Community
Hubs Study (2010), the viability of provision for public toilets needs to be considered, assessed and discussed
in the light of this strategy.
20.1.2 Prioritisation of new facilities
It is suggested that the clearly defined process as presented in Stages 1-5 above (refer to point 18) been
implemented in the assessment of new sites considered for provision of public toilets, including district and
regional parks. This will reduce needless subjective debates, reports and community and political lobbying
during the decision-making process.
20.1.3 General Recommendations: Provision of new facilities
In addition to the specific recommendations made above, it is also recommended that the City of Armadale
consider the following:
Recommendation 1.
Recommendation 2.
Recommendation 3.
Recommendation 4.
Recommendation 5.
That the Council toilet map be further updated to identify the toilets with disability
access and be placed on Council’s web site and provided to the “National Toilet
Map”.
Where only one public toilet facility can be provided at a location, that a disabled
unisex toilet - which is accessible to dependent users (elderly, children and people
with disabilities) as well as care providers of children (parents) and dependent adults,
even if they are not from the same gender - should be provided.
Provide international signage, in accordance with Part 5 to all new facilities.
Assess and advocate accordingly to State Government for the provision of public
toilet facilities at Challis and Sherwood stations if/when required.
All new facilities be designed and constructed with Crime Prevention through
Environmental Design (CPTED) principles (See Appendix 1) and in accordance with
the design guidelines as set out in part 5.
20.2 Recommendations: Improvement of existing public toilet facilities
