A much needed facility in order to maximise this beautiful park. Great to have a place for children to explore and enjoy the outdoors.

Providing accessible toilets for all Park users including neighbouring Woodford Primary School and for inter-school sporting events, this project will install twin-cubicle toilets (one of which is unisex/ambulant) at Jubilee Park Reserve at Woodford. They'll be elevated, waterless/hybrid and composting. Currently there are no public toilet facilities in or near the popular Park, which is also surrounded by two large housing developments in the north. Another residential development currently being planned is only 500 meters west of the existing Park. There are public safety and health concerns expressed by users, including many small children, with the lack of facilities.
The new playground and social gathering space was opened in March 2016 after extensive community consultation, revegetation, and rejuvenation of a well used public space alongside the Merri river. The Master Plan identified Jubilee Park 'as an integral part of Woodford'. However, despite the new housing developments in the immediate area and the well equipped Park and playground, there are no public toilet facilities in or near the Park. The installation of sustainable and energy efficient unisex/ambulant composting toilet facilities will provide accessibility for all Park users, the neighbouring school and help to reduce inappropriate toileting and environmental pollution.

The long term sustainability of such a beautiful Park and playground is the accessibility to toilets for everyone. Thank you.

This project will complete a wonderful asset to the local community but will also attract visitors from nearby Warrnambool and people travelling through the district. Excellent project!
Thanks Glenda! The project will benefit the whole community for a long time to come and protect the river too.

Home is 15 minutes away so toilets would make it much easier for me to stay and enjoy the beautiful park
Hi Aunity Skeeta, I think we’d all like to stay a little longer in the beautiful Park.

Great park. We visit frequently. Bathroom facilities would be a massive advantage to this park!

This is an absolutely lovely playground for children and it has been a delight to watch my grand children play there. I am aware that this was initiated by the students at the near by Woodford Primary school. Well done kids! Next obvious step to make it more family friendly is to establish a toilet block.
Hi Nanny,
Thank you for your comments. Hopefully, in the future, you can stay in the Park with your grandchildren a little longer. Please encourage your family and friends to vote for this project too.

We would visit this park a lot more if there were toilets available, it's the only bad thing about the fantastic park!

A composting toilet is an essential addition to the new recreational facilities in Jubilee Park, Woodford. Park users need access to proper toilet facilities for reasons of hygiene and to prevent pollution of the park. The organizer and partner for the project are to be commended for the effort that has gone into the planning for this project that will benefit the entire community.
Thanks Jim for your comments. The environmental and health reasons make this project essential.
