Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background
Over the past 10 years, Brimbank City Council’s park network and Activity
Centres have experienced transformational upgrades with the aim to create key
destinations and increase the liveability of the city. This has occurred through
the implementation of key policies and strategies including: Town Centre
Structure Plans, Brimbank Activity Centre Strategy, Brimbank Housing Strategy
2012, Brimbank Cycling and Walking Strategy (2016) and the Creating Better
Parks Policy and Plan (2016).
The Creating Better Parks Policy and Plan (CBP) originally adopted in 2008 is an
example of this implementation. CBP set out a plan to transform Brimbank
Council’s existing park network. One of the key recommendations was to create
four (4) new Flagship Parks (one in each Ward) that would include the provision
of public toilets.
These Flagship Parks have now all been built along with the toilet facilities and
have proven to be a huge success with the community. A fifth Flagship
Playground has since been built at Errington Reserve, St Albans called Alice’s
Playspace, with a new toilet facility included in the new St Albans Community
Centre.
CBP has resulted in the increase use of the park network at Suburban Parks and
parks where passive and active functions co-exist, such as Selwyn Park Albion,
Balmoral Reserve Derrimut and Delahey Reserve, Delahey. Shared toilet
facilities need to be considered at these reserves to cater for all users.
Toilets have also been installed in the following Activity Centres: St Albans, Deer
Park and Keilor Village.
Despite the provision of new toilet facilities over this ten year period, Council
continues to receive requests for additional toilets from the community. Given
this ongoing demand, Council has investigated the current provision of public
toilets to determine where any gaps may occur and to prepare a Public Toilet
Strategy (Strategy) to guide the provision of public toilet facilities in Activity
Centres and parks over the next twelve (12) years.

Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
1.2 Aims & Principles
The aims of this Strategy are:
To ensure that the most frequently visited parks and public places within the
City have an equitable provision of public toilets.
To ensure that new or upgraded Council facilities provide publicly accessible
toilets at locations where the community gathers.
To promote health and fitness by providing public toilets that support active
lifestyles including walking, jogging and cycling.
To achieve these aims the following principles have been developed:
Key destinations –
As the cost of providing and maintaining public toilets is
high, Council is seeking to provide public toilets in locations of high popularity
and activity. The Strategy will focus the provision of toilets in spaces that
support extended stays.
This will include key destinations separate to Flagship Parks such as Suburban
Parks where amenities such as barbecues, park shelters, large playgrounds,
sports grounds and shared paths attract lots of users. Similarly, in Activity
Centres where it can be demonstrated that a high proportion of visitors frequent.
Design and siting –
Toilet facilities will be located to provide equitable access,
be highly visible and ensure safety via Crime Prevention Through
Environmentally Sensitive Design principles (CEPTED) are applied.
The design of toilets will be considered to complement the local surroundings to
ensure that the built form adds to the experience of being in the public realm.
(See image below of Red Wood Toilets in Rotorua, New Zealand).
Clean and well maintained –
Maintenance and cleanliness of public toilets is
critical to the ongoing function and vitality of open spaces and Activity Centres.
Council is committed to the ongoing upkeep of public toilets and as such regular
ongoing monitoring and auditing of these facilities will need to be undertaken.

Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
1.3 Policy
The following criteria will be used to guide the provision of public toilet facilities:
Public toilets should be:
Located in all Flagship Parks as per recommendations in Creating Better
Parks Policy and Plan 2016
Located in some key Suburban Parks to provide a more equitable distribution
of public toilets across the municipality as per recommendations in Creating
Better Parks Policy and Plan 2016
Located within new or existing sporting pavilions/ community centres where
the reserve also accommodates other park facilities such as playgrounds,
barbecues and sports facilities. (Refer image below)
Located within a reasonable walking distance of no more than 250m
(3 minute walk) from the most popular facility at the location such as a
playground or Activity Centre.
Universally designed to accommodate all ability requirements as well as the
diverse social, physical, cultural and gender needs of the community.
Undertaken in accordance with Council’s Environmentally Sustainable Design
Framework (ESD Framework), which aims to reduce the embodied and
operating energy, waste production and potable water requirements of
Council’s infrastructure.
All new public toilet facilities should be fully automated (Exeloo or equivalent)
to reduce maintenance and staffing costs associated with opening and closing
toilets.

2.0 Existing Conditions
2.1 Public Toilet Classifications
For the purpose of this document it is important to highlight the difference
between the functionality of public toilets in Activity Centres as opposed to
parks/reserves and how these are individually classified and prioritised.
Whilst this Strategy aims to identify existing and future needs for public toilets in
both Activity Centres and parks/reserves it is intended as an infrastructure
document which will guide Capital Works spending over the next 12 years.
As such, this document specifically focuses on future implementation of Council
public toilet assets which are considered ‘standalone’ (operating independently
to any building that they may be attached to). These facilities would also operate
on weekends and after hours (depending on location of the facility).
Activity Centres
Many of Brimbank’s Activity Centres are private shopping complexes which
provide ample toilet facilities (such as Watergardens Town Centre). Others such
as Sunshine Activity Centre include a mix of private shopping complexes and
individual shops, restaurants and businesses.
Section 3.1 investigates the provision of public toilets as well as private toilets
that are publicly available in Activity Centres. Both existing private and public
facilities have been included within the activity centre investigation to best
determine future demand at these locations.
Parks/Reserve
The majority of Brimbank’s parks and reserves are generally in isolated locations
away from Activity Centres and main roads where toilets are currently more
readily available.
Many of these parks and reserves are also popular with the community as they
include facilities such as large playgrounds, BBQ’s, cycling/walking trails and
various sporting facilities. These facilities generally attract users for prolonged
stays (1hour plus), where provision of public toilets would be expected.
As such, an individual criteria needs to be applied to public toilet facilities in
parks and reserves to determine the most suitable locations. Specific site
selection and criteria is examined in greater detail in Section 3.2 of this
document.

2.2 Existing Facilities
There are currently 12 ‘standalone’ public toilets located within the municipality.
These are located in both parks/reserves and Activity Centres.
Refer to Map 1
Existing public toilets in parks/reserves include;
Flagship Parks
• Buckingham Reserve, Sunshine West
• Kevin Flint Memorial Gardens, Cairnlea
• Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve, Deer Park
• Alice’s Playspace – St Albans Community Centre Errington Reserve, St Albans
• Cliff Harvey Lagoon Reserve, Keilor Village
• The Lakes Reserve, Taylors Lakes

*
Existing public toilets in Activity Centres include;
• Sunshine Train Station Forecourt, Sunshine (Bus Interchange)
• Alfrieda Street, St Albans
• Deer Park Shopping Village, Deer Park
• Cliff Harvey Lagoon Reserve Flagship Park, Keilor Village
*
The Public Toilet at Kevin Wheelahan Reserve, Sunshine is in a dilapidated
condition with poorly sited entrances which make it unsafe to refurbish. It is
proposed that this toilet is decommissioned after the completion of Sunvale
Community Park in mid-2018. For future events it is proposed that Council either
negotiates with Sunshine RSL for use of their toilets and/or supplies portable
hire toilets as required.

3.0 Implementation Plan
3.1 Activity Centres – Audit
Apart from the typical ‘standalone’ type public toilet facility, Council has a
number of buildings such as libraries and neighbourhood houses in Activity
Centres.
These facilities have toilets which are available to the public during normal
business hours (including weekends in most instances). Likewise a number of
toilet facilities exist in private shopping centres which are usually open for
extended hours including weekends and are readily available to the public.
Although these private toilets are not considered Council assets, they do function
as toilets which are publicly available and are a determining factor in public toilet
provision in Activity Centres.
A number of private restaurants and cafes also provide toilet facilities to
customers. Whilst these are private toilets, they add to the available options of
toilet facilities amongst paying customers. These facilities have been indicated
for Brimbank’s two largest Activity Centres on
Maps 2 & 3
.
The Draft Brimbank Activity Centre Strategy (2018) reflects the latest State
Level Activity Centre Hierarchy while also taking into account the role and
function of centres at a more local level. This Hierarchy includes a Metropolitan
Activity Centre, Major Activity Centres, Neighbourhood Activity Centres and Local
Activity Centres.
The following list provides details of toilet facilities at the various Activity Centre
locations:

Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
As per Section 1.3 above, in assessing the provision of public toilets in activity
centre a 3 minute or 250m walk criteria is applied to determine accessibility.
Most of the Sunshine Town Centre is serviced by public toilets within a 3 minute
walk.
The Southern section of Sunshine Town Centre (also known as the Southern
Village) currently has no existing public toilet facilities. This area is also
physically separated from the core Sunshine Town Centre by rail lines and the
Hampshire Road overpass, making access to existing toilet facilities difficult.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that the Southern Village may undergo significant
transformation in coming years with new commercial and apartment
developments being considered. As such, it is recommended that public toilets
are proposed for the Southern Village and given a nominal ranking of ‘of Med
Priority’ on the final priority list on
Table 2
(Subject to further consultation).

community in recent years as they are located within the Cliff Harvey Lagoon
Reserve on a portion of the reserve that fronts Old Calder Highway. This portion
sits within the designated boundary of Keilor Village. The blue circle highlights
the 3 minute/250m walk radius with almost the entire village contained within
that distance.
As nearly all of Keilor Village sits within the 3 minute/ 250m criteria outlined in
Section 1.3, an extra toilet is not proposed at this point in time.

Local Activity Centres
Council has 30 local Activity Centres. With the exception of the Glengala Village
in Sunshine West, the majority of these local activity centres contain only a few
shops and are generally considered too small to currently justify public toilets.
Glengala Village in Sunshine West is classified as a Local Activity Centre though
it is comparable in size to some Neighbourhood Activity Centres as it includes
around 25 different businesses. Given the variety of these businesses, it remains
a popular destination with the local community and is particularly busy during
daytime trading hours. Some of the local businesses here include a green
grocer, cafes, post office, pharmacy, bakery, butchers, food retailers, bottle
shop, hair dressers and many others.
In light of this, it is recommended that Glengala Village in Sunshine West be
considered for public toilets and given a nominal ranking of ‘of High Priority’ on
the final priority list on
Table 2.
Further consultation with local traders and the community will need to be
undertaken to determine the location of a public toilet at this location.
Glengala Village, Sunshine - Image Courtesy of Google Street View
It could not be demonstrated that any other activity centres were in need of
public toilets at this stage. However, it is recommended this be reviewed every
3-5 years/ or as new developments occur and changes to zoning/ structure plans
are renewed.

Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
3.2 Parks and Reserves – Site Selection
A desktop evaluation of all the public toilet facilities in parks and reserves
throughout the municipality has been completed and includes a catchment
analysis to determine gaps in the provision of public toilets. Twelve (12)
potential sites where identified as follows:
o
Ardeer Community Park Suburban Park, Ardeer
o
Davitt Drive Reserve Suburban Park, Deer Park
o
Duke Street Reserve Suburban Park, Sunshine North
o
Evergreen Ave Reserve Suburban Park, Albanvale
o
Harefield Crescent Reserve Suburban Park, Kealba
o
Jamieson Street Reserve Suburban Park, St Albans
o
Kurung Drive Reserve Suburban Park, Kings Park
o
Roseleigh Boulevard Reserve Suburban Park, Sydenham
o
Roussac Reserve Suburban Park, Sunshine North
o
St Andrews Park Neighbourhood Park, Derrimut
o
Verona Drive Reserve Suburban Park, Taylors Lakes
o
Wahgunyah Drive Reserve Suburban Park, St Albans
This initial investigation only included current sites in their existing state and did
not take into account planned upgrades, future developments, popular
destinations and other key significant sites or known ‘Hot Spots’ for toilet
requests by the community. Therefore, twelve (12) other sites were also
selected to make a total of twenty four (24) sites to be evaluated based on
specific criteria outlined below. These additional sites included:
o
Balmoral Park Suburban Park, Derrimut
o
Bon Thomas Reserve Suburban Park, Deer park
o
Copernicus Way Reserve Suburban Park, Keilor Downs
o
Delahey Recreation Reserve Suburban Park, Delahey
o
Development site (Former City West Water site), St Albans Road,
Sunshine

Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
3.3 Criteria for prioritisation
To prioritise which of the selected twenty four (24) Park & Reserve sites should
be considered for public toilets, eight (8) equally weighted criteria have been
applied to each of the sites (
Development sites not included
*
)
. to give an overall
score out of 8
The criteria take into account considerations which provide a fair assessment as
to the suitability of public toilets in each of these locations. These individual
criteria are explained in more detail below:
1) Fit for purpose (size and scale existing/proposed facilities)
Most of the sites on the list are categorised as a ‘Suburban Park’ in CBP.
Suburban Parks generally have high quality playground and picnic facilities
including a BBQ.
These park sites are also usually big enough to accommodate a variety of
different uses such as circuit paths, kick around spaces and informal sports
facilities such as basketball keys, exercise equipment, footy/soccer goals.
Often the public requests toilets at sites such as these as they have the types
of facilities that promote extended stays where toilet facilities would be
required.
2) Proximity to existing /planned major shared trail/cycle route
This relates to sites that are basically on an existing/planned shared trail or
cycle route or within approximately 250m from one. This will not only provide
toilet facilities for walkers/ cyclists when passing the site but promote a
destination point that can be walked or cycled too.
3) Planned sports pavilion /leisure centre upgrades
Council plans to upgrade sports pavilions/ change facilities at various
Reserves as per the Sport Facilities Development Plan as well as upgrading St
Albans Leisure Centre in the future.
These upgrades provide opportunities to include independently operating
Public Toilets attached to the proposed new building. This option is very cost
effective as services are shared.
4) Existing /planned skate facility/other recreation activity
Council is planning five (5) new skate facilities over the coming years. Four
(4) of these overlap with potential public toilet sites.
Other potential sites offer unique recreational activities such river/ lake trails
and informal sporting opportunities. All of these additional usage types
present a case for the provision of toilet facilities at these locations.
5) Existing /planned dog off-leash facility
Council currently has seventeen (17) dog off-leash locations throughout the
municipality with potential plans for more at locations such as Balmoral Park,
Derrimut (subject to consultation). Many of these locations overlap with

image
16
Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
potential public toilet sites which help to justify toilet facilities at these
locations.
6) Proximity to schools
Parks that are located within proximity to primary and secondary schools
generally receive a lot more visitation via foot traffic. These parks are usually
located in residential areas that are readily accessible to the public and are
more likely to be used on weekends and after hours. A 500 metre catchment
radius has been assigned to this criterion.
7) No other toilet facilities exist within 2km (walk, ride or drive)
This criteria helps to keep an even dispersal of public toilet facilities across
the municipality. It could be considered a reasonable expectation of Council
to provide Public Toilets within a 2km walk, ride or drive from place of
residence (subject to meeting other criteria).
8) Medium density area/residential growth zone
Council’s Home and Housed Housing Strategy (2014) sets out residential
zoning precincts ‘General Residential Zone (Incremental change area) &
Residential Growth Zone (Substantial Change Area). These two zoning
precincts are growth orientated and will impact the density within the
municipality over the coming years.
*Development Sites
Three (3) large development sites have not been included in the criteria
assessment as they are already considered strategic priorities in terms of their
location, density and the proposed park/playground amenity they will provide.
Council aims to negotiate with developers for public toilets facilities in these
locations through the planning approval process. These opportunities will help
alleviate Council’s upfront costs associated with this infrastructure.
These
development sites are shown in a separate row in the Priority Schedule on
Table 2
.
3.4 Priority Sites
After applying the criteria across each of the applicable sites, a prioritisation
score was determined. These scores ranged from two (2) to seven (7) out of a
possible score of eight (8).
One site scored seven (7), one site scored six (6), five sites scored five (5), five
sites scored four (4) and the remaining sites scored three (3) or below. (See
Table 2
below)
To justify the ranking of these sites into appropriate categories of priority, the
following methodology was applied:
High Priority
Sites that have scored six (6) or above. These sites meet enough criteria points
to be considered high priority and should be implemented in the short term over
the next four (4) years subject to budget approval.

image
17
Brimbank Public Toilet Strategy 2018 -2030
Medium Priority
Sites that have a score of five (5). These projects should be considered mid to
long term projects and implemented over the next twelve (12) years (subject to
budget approval).
Low Priority- Case by Case Based on Merit
Sites that have scored four (4) should only be considered on a case by case
basis where opportunities present themselves. For instance, funding
opportunities become available or a new project from an internal/external
department is considered for the site. This change of use/function may increase
the useability of the site and assessed as to whether this justifies the provision
of Public Toilet facilities.
Development Sites
Council will negotiate for public toilets in the three (3) proposed development
sites with developers via the planning approval process.
Not Considered
Scores of three (3) or below do not score enough criteria points to justify the
provision of Public Toilet facilities.
