Tweed Shire Council want your thoughts on their public toilets

The community’s loo views won’t go down the dunny, instead they’re helping flush out some information on future projects.

Tweed Shire Council are seeking community views on public toilets.

The Tweed Shire Council is seeking the community’s no crap views on their loos so they can flush out a strategy for future public toilets.

A new shire-wide strategy will ensure the council provides public toilets which are well-maintained, safe, conveniently located and accessible for people living with disability.

The council is asking the community to set priorities to improve the quality, siting and distribution of public toilets across the Tweed.

The accessible public toilet block located in Knox Park, Murwillumbah.

Manager Parks and Active Communities Stewart Brawley said council was partnering with residents and businesses to develop the Public Toilet Strategy – a key deliverable from the Tweed’s Open Space Strategy 2019–2029.

“We want residents to complete the project survey so we develop a public toilet strategy that meets the needs of the community, now and into the future,” Mr Brawley said.

“We have already completed some work to understand how many extra public toilets we might need as the Tweed’s population grows, alongside an accessibility audit to inform priorities. I’m sure there’s lots of views out there on this subject, so now it’s the turn of the community to share their ideas and priorities.”

Residents can provide feedback in two ways: complete the online survey or drop a pin on an interactive map to show where they would like to see public toilets built, upgraded or removed.

By completing the survey, respondents will go into a draw to win one of 10 picnic hampers from Brett Street CAFE in Tweed Heads valued at $150 each. The survey closes on August.1
