EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Intent This Public Toilet Strategy is intended to guide the provision of accessible Public Toilet facilities and infrastructure across the City of Port Phillip for the next 5 years. Key Performance Standards The Strategy has been framed in accordance with Council’s recommended key performance standards of safety, accessibility and demand. Analysis of Existing Conditions The Strategy provides an analysis of the existing 53 public toilets across the City. Guided by the recommended key performance standards a series of key opportunities are suggested to upgrade and improve existing facilities. Future Destination Demand Analysis An analysis of the future demand for public toilets by neighbourhood is also presented. This is based on the amount of key destinations and visitor attractions found within each neighbourhood. Future Opportunities Using the analysis of existing conditions and the future destination demand, a number of key locations and opportunities are nominated within each neighbourhood. These sites nominated represent both ‘gaps’ in the location of existing public toilet infrastructure and opportunities to address the likely future demand as assessed. Key Recommendations To conclude, the Strategy provides a number of key recommendations for each neighbourhood. These recommendations include the opportunities for existing public toilet improvements as well as opportunities for new public toilet infrastructure. A proposed five year capital works schedule is included as an appendix to the strategy to assist in the delivery of the key projects outlined.

INTRODUCTION

Vision The City of Port Phillip affords a strong vision which ultimately aims to make the community a better place. Part of this vision state’s that:

“We envisage that our city’s services match the people’s needs, are innovative, responsive and continually improving. Our services are wide ranging and address the needs of our community on a physical, human and cultural level.”

Aim To achieve this vision, a number of key strategies and initiatives are proposed within the 2006/2007 Council Plan. In relation to public toilets and the development of this strategy, initiative 9.4.49 aims to:

“Facilitate a network of accessible public toilets across the city, including both private and publicly owned toilets”

The Strategy has been developed, not only in response to the delivery of the above initiative, but also to compliment existing policy and services developed to achieve the City of Port Phillip’s overall community vision.

Definitions Council managed public toilets = toilets accessible to the public located within public parks/reserves, community centres, library’s, council buildings and sporting clubs Privately owned public toilets = toilets accessible to the public but located on private land eg. Service stations, shopping arcades, McDonald’s Restaurants etc. Public toilets = All council managed and privately owned public toilets within the City of Port Phillip.

KEY PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The strategy has been developed in accordance with council endorsed performance standards established to guide the future development, use and management of all accessible public toilets within the City of Port Phillip. The performance standards can be grouped into three main themes; safety, accessibility and demand. Each performance standard includes key criteria to be considered.

Safety The provision of all public toilets must be safe and inviting to use for all in the community.

• Public toilets must present well and ensure that users feel that the facility is safe, clean and well managed.

• Public toilets should be located in the most visible position possible to maximise public surveillance of the facility.

• Public toilets should cater for all expected users, including the aged, disabled and young families.

Accessibility The provision of public toilets must be accessible to all in the community

• Public toilets should comply with the accessibility requirements as outlined within the Disability Discrimination Act 1992

• Public toilets should be accessible and open at all times during daylight hours • Where public toilets are located within privately owned buildings, the use of

the building must be compatible and accessible to the public during daylight hours

• Public toilets should provide for 24 hour access within the major activity precincts and within entertainment precincts.

Demand The provision of public toilets must be located in areas of high demand within the community

• Public toilets should be located in public and private areas where high pedestrian traffic volumes exist including activity centres, major tourist destinations, parks and foreshore areas.

• Public toilets should be located where there are public ‘activity generators’ such as BBQ facilities, play equipment etc.

These performance standards have been used to inform the strategy and likely demand for the provision of accessible public toilets across the city.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Supply and location There are currently 39 council managed public toilets across the city and a further 14 privately managed public toilets which exist within Service Stations, Shopping complexes and McDonalds Restaurants. In total there are 53 public toilets throughout the City of Port Phillip. The majority of which exist within parks, reserves and sporting clubs as well as foreshore areas. Table 1.0 Total Supply of Public Toilets within City of Port Phillip 2007. Council managed public toilets 39 Parks, reserves, sporting clubs etc 32 Council buildings – libraries, Town Halls etc 7 Privately managed public toilets 14 Service stations 3 Shopping centre complexes 6 Train Stations 2 Restaurant 2 Marina 1 Total public toilets (public and private) 53 The supply of public toilets within each of the seven neighbourhoods varies. Typically, the neighbourhoods which afford the most visitor destinations and attractions afford the most number of public toilets.

Management of existing facilities Existing public toilet facilities owned and managed by Council are maintained as part of Councils asset maintenance commitments. A 20 year capital improvement schedule is now in place for existing public toilet infrastructure. This schedule was developed following a Building Condition Audit, undertaken by Council in 2005. The Building Condition Audit makes a number of key recommendations to ensure existing facilities are updated and improved to comply with appropriate building standards. The audit recommended a review and upgrade of all existing facilities to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety requirements, disability access, signage improvements and other design considerations. The capital improvement schedule which was adopted by Council includes the key recommendations of the building condition audit. These recommendations are largely consistent with the key performance standards relating to safety and accessibility identified within this strategy. This Strategy recommends the continued implementation and proposed improvements as outlined within Council’s 20 year capital improvement schedule for the upgrade of all existing council owned and managed public toilet infrastructure.

Review of existing facilities

It is recommended that an audit be undertaken every 2 years to assess the performance and suitability of existing public toilet infrastructure across the city. The audit would be based on the key performance criteria nominated within this Strategy as well as using data which identifies existing use and demand.

This review is recommended to influence and frame future decision making regarding the priority and upgrade/improvement of all existing facilities.

FUTURE DEMAND

Destination Demand Analysis Destination demand is calculated by estimating the number of destinations or visitor attractions of each neighbourhood which are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Across the city the local population and an estimated 4 million visitors per annum enjoy the destinations, visitor attractions and services on offer within the City of Port Phillip. Numbers of local and visitors enjoying these destinations vary greatly from neighbourhood to neighbourhood depending on the offer. In the absence of any quantifiable data which measures the popularity of each destination within the city, a number of assumptions are made in relation to where people may visit relative to the destinations and attractions available within each neighbourhood. Factors which contribute to each neighbourhood’s “visitor attractiveness” include; • proximity to the foreshore • availability of shops and restaurants • availability of a variety accommodation • proximity to regionally significant parks and gardens • major transport interchange (e.g. Station Pier) Each neighbourhood has been assessed against the above factors and rated high, medium and low relative to its number of destinations and “visitor attractiveness”.

Neighbourhood Demand The following table illustrates which neighbourhoods afford the most demand for public toilets based on destination demand analysis. Table 3.0 Destination demand by neighbourhood

According to this scenario the neighbourhood’s of St Kilda, Albert Park/Middle Park and Port Melbourne have the highest destination demand for public toilets.

Neighbourhood (No. of existing Public Toilets)

Destinations and visitor attractions Overall demand

St Kilda (12) Foreshore Shops and restaurants Accommodation Parks and gardens

High

Albert Park/Middle Park (4) Foreshore Shops and restaurants Parks and gardens

High

Port Melbourne (12) Foreshore Shops and restaurants Transport interchange

High

Elwood/Ripponlea (5) Foreshore Shops and restaurants

Medium

South Melbourne (6) Shops and restaurants Sth Melb Market

Medium

St Kilda Road (1) Accommodation Parks and gardens

Medium

East St Kilda (8) Shops and restaurants Low

FUTURE PRIORITY LOCATIONS The following priority locations are based on the above analysis of existing conditions and locations and the future destination demand analysis.

Elwood/Ripponlea – (Demand – Medium) The location of existing public toilets is largely around the foreshore areas of the neighbourhood. There is a notable absence of any public toilets currently within the main shopping precincts of both Elwood and Ripponlea. To address current gaps and future demand predictions, the following precincts are recommended as the most appropriate sites for the location of future public toilet infrastructure.

• Glenhuntly Road/Ormond Road intersection, Elwood • Ormond Road shopping precinct, Elwood • Glen Eira Road shopping precinct, Ripponlea

East St Kilda - (Demand – Low) The East St Kilda neighbourhood essentially has two major destination attractions – the Carlisle Street commercial precinct and Alma Park. Both precincts afford relatively good access to existing public toilets. Carlisle Street includes a total of 5 existing facilities and Alma Park 2 existing facilities. With future demand analysis relatively low, over the life of this Strategy it is not recommended that any new public toilet facilities be implemented over the next 5 years.

St Kilda - (Demand – High) St Kilda includes a large number of existing public toilets. These are largely located in the southern precinct of the neighbourhood, around Acland Street, the Botanical Gardens, Peanut Farm and the foreshore area. Fitzroy Street, a popular 24 hour visitor and local destination is relatively poorly served by existing public toilet infrastructure. The opportunity exists to address this deficiency. According to analysis, the following precincts are recommended

• Fitzroy Street, St Kilda • Talbot Reserve, Barkly Street • Jim Duggan Reserve, St Kilda

Albert Park/Middle Park - (Demand – High) The location of existing public toilets within the Albert Park/Middle Park neighbourhood is largely around the foreshore areas. Aside from the Albert Park library, there are no current facilities within both the Albert Park or Middle Park shopping precincts.

With a high demand for visitor attractions, a number of opportunities exist to address some of the gaps in the provision of public toilets as well as meet the demands for the future. The following precincts are recommended as the most appropriate sites for the location of future public toilet infrastructure.

• Middle Park Beach, Armstrong Street, Middle Park • Armstrong Street shopping precinct, Middle Park • Victoria Avenue, between Richardson and Merton Street, Albert Park

St Kilda Road - (Demand – Medium) The St Kilda Road neighbourhood currently has one public toilet facility located in Bowen Crescent. Given the changing use of St Kilda Road from a office based commercial precinct to one of more apartment style residential development, demand for public toilet facilities is likely to increase over time. The challenge for the neighbourhood is the limited availability of public space for any new public toilet infrastructure. With this challenge in mind, the following precinct is recommended as the most appropriate site for the location of future public toilet infrastructure.

• Albert Cricket Ground, St Kilda Road (opposite Commercial Road intersection)

South Melbourne - (Demand – Medium) In the advent of two new public toilets being introduced to the precinct via the two new commercial developments of ‘Red Bears’ and ‘the Clarendon Centre’, the South Melbourne shopping precinct and neighbourhood is relatively well served by public toilet infrastructure. It is understood that public toilets already exist within the Town Hall itself, and whilst this Strategy recommends these facilities be improved for greater access, any future development of the precinct itself should consider whether there is appropriate access to public toilet facilities Notwithstanding the above, the following precinct is considered the most appropriate site for the location of future public toilet infrastructure within the neighbourhood.

• Town Hall precinct, South Melbourne

Port Melbourne - (Demand – High) The Port Melbourne neighbourhood affords a relatively even spread of public toilets throughout the neighbourhood. The Bay Street commercial precinct includes 3 public toilet facilities and the major parks and open space areas are also relatively well served. The foreshore area is increasingly in demand with the new residential development and increased popularity future demand is on the increase.

Considering the location of existing facilities and the high future demand, the following precincts are recommended as the most appropriate sites for the location of future public toilet infrastructure.

• Sandridge Beach (east end) • Waterfront Place, Station Pier precinct

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Using the key performance standards as the framework, the above analysis of existing conditions and future demand allows a number of key recommendations to be made. These recommendations when combined have been developed to best accommodate the delivery of an accessible network of public toilet infrastructure across the city. The recommendations nominated have been made for each neighbourhood. They include upgrades and improvements for existing public toilet infrastructure as well as suggested opportunities for new public toilet infrastructure.
