We're installing a new public toilet along the Mullum Mullum Trail.

The new facility will include:

• One standard cubicle
• One accessible cubicle
• Baby and child change facilities
• A rainwater tank for a natural water supply
• External and internal powered lighting
• Skylights for natural lighting
• A concrete path to connect the toilet to the trail.

Where is it?

The toilet would be installed near the car park at the intersection of Conos Court and Park Road, Donvale.

An extensive investigation determined this as the only suitable site on Council-owned land in the area.

This was for several reasons, including:

• sufficient space
• access to essential services
• adequate parking for users and maintenance vehicles.
   

This location also benefits from passive surveillance due to nearby residents and passing traffic. In an area of secluded bushland, the site is visible and easily accessible to trail users. Additionally, it provides a mid-point facility between the existing toilets at Mullum Mullum Stadium and Schwerkolt Cottage.

Why is it needed?

Currently, without a public toilet in this area, visitors are limited in where they can go and how long they can stay. A safe, well maintained, and environmentally friendly toilet would significantly improve the experience for people using the Mullum Mullum Trail.

This project is part of our Public Toilet Plan 2021.

When will the works happen?

Construction will likely begin in early to mid-2025. This project is part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.
