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 previous project converted a tired space, much abused, where an abandoned Tennis club house and toilets had stood and turned it into a vibrant and much used facility. The missing link being toilet facilities.
Hi Mike, The facility will get very tired again if toilets are not soon installed at the Park. Please encourage your family and friends to vote and help make this project a reality.

It's an absolute must in order to allow people to make full use of this area. Like Lake Pertobe it could then be used for social gatherings and not just for a quick visit to the playground for the kids.
Hi Jim, There are so many possibilities but, it won’t happen without the installation of toilets at Woodford’s Park.Please let your friends know and encourage them to vote. Thanks!

Much needed as it is a long way to the next public toilet
Hi Helen, Yes, there are so many reasons to get this project selected by the region, especially since there is not another toilet in the area. The toilet is urgently needed.! Thanks for your support. Please encourage your family, friends and work colleagues to vote for this project. There is not much time left!

this project is a must. It's just terrible visiting the park and finding- there is no toilet facility !!
Yes, The toilet facilities are essential for the sustainability of the Park. Please encourage your family, friends and work colleagues to vote for this essential Project. There are still a lot of people in our community that aren’t aware of what ‘Pick My Project’ is all about. We need to all promote this ‘one off’ opportunity for our community. Thank you!

A composting toilet is a very practical and necessary environmentally friendly addition to this beautiful park.
Hi Natasha, I agree with your sentiments totally. The Park is not sustainable without a toilet. What’s more, we need to protect the whole environment around the Park too. Please encourage your family and friends to vote for this important project.

A toilet is essential to complement this excellent recreational space.
Thanks Raj. The Park won’t be so good in the future if we don’t get toilets. Please let your friends know too. It appears that a lot of people in the city don’t know about the opportunity to vote.

This is what is needed to complete a great family resource. Wherever children spend time a toilet is an absolute necessity! Jenny E

We live within walking distance of this amazing area, but unfortunately rarly use it..
If there was a toilet facility we would definitely be there most days.
It's a great area for our local community but would definitely benefit from a toilet facility
Hi Kez, Just think how popular the whole Park (& walking trails ) would be with access to toilets? There is so much to be gained by getting this Project over the line.

If you build playgrounds and BBQs to attract people to an area, Then you must also have toilet facilities for them.
Absolutely! I’m sure lots more families would visit the Park if there were accessible toilets.

It is vital in this beautifully created social gathering space to be complemented with an environmentally friendly public toilet facility to, not only support sustainability of the park, but also encourage the public to enjoy and make full use of this special area.
