Public toilets to enhance the South Perth foreshore

An exciting new addition is coming to the Coode Street Foreshore, with construction commencing on a comprehensive accessible public toilet facility.

The new facility will offer a more inclusive design to meet the diverse needs of our community, replacing the ageing toilets currently in the area. The new building will be optimised to allow parents, children and people of all abilities to enjoy this popular area of the City.

The project will also include the City of South Perth’s first Changing Places facility, made possible through over $180,000 of grant funding provided by the Department of Communities. The nationally-accredited Changing Places initiative provides appropriate facilities for people with high support needs who cannot use standard accessible toilets.

These facilities are an important provision to aid both people with disability and their carers, allowing them to better participate in the community and access the City’s beautiful spaces and active places.

Construction will be completed over two stages:

Stage 1 – Excavation and construction for sewerage and internal plumbing, commencing now.
Stage 2 – Building construction and fit out, to follow in the second half of 2025.

This project will be a positive and well-used addition to one of the City’s key public areas. The project aligns with the City’s Access and Inclusion Plan and responds to community feedback in both the Coode Street Foreshore Engagement Report and the City Public Toilet Strategy, calling for the development of high-quality accessible public toilets.
