A new disability-accessible toilet will be available for Dixons Creek residents and visitors following construction works to be completed next month.
Yarra Ranges Council is building the loos at the Dixons Creek Reserve to replace the current block.
There’ll be an accessible toilet with baby change table, two unisex ambulant toilets and one standard unisex toilet.
Mayor Len Cox said it wasn’t just open spaces to walk a dog or equipment for kids to pay on that made parks great.
“It’s also about having high quality and accessible facilities, which this project will help provide,” he said.
“This new toilet block will be better for managing vandalism and graffiti, more accessible for people living with disability and better quality for Dixons Creek’s residents and visitors.”
The building will be made with Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and materials used in the construction will make removing any graffiti easier.
Construction works started on 19 July with demolition of the old toilets, and are expected to be completed by mid-August.
During construction, public toilets are located at Yarra Glen’s McKenzie Reserve on the corner of Anzac Avenue and Bell Street.
