THE City of Greater Bendigo has commenced construction of a new $210,000 Changing Place in Heathcote and new $520,000 accessible public toilet facilities and a Changing Place in Elmore.<\/p>\n

CoGB Property Manager Daniella McClure said the City is committed to providing accessible public toilet facilities and improving disability access across the Greater Bendigo community.<\/p>\n

“A new Changing Place facility to serve the Heathcote and wider community is currently being constructed adjacent to the Barrack Reserve public toilets which were opened in 2019.<\/p>\n

“There will be no closure of the existing public toilet facilities while the new changing place is being constructed,” Ms McClure said.<\/p>\n

“The new Elmore public toilet facility will feature five unisex cubicles, two DDA compliant unisex cubicles and a Changing Place,” Ms McClure said.<\/p>\n

“During construction portable toilets for use by the community and visitors to the township are available in the Elmore Miniature Railway carpark.<\/p>\n

“Both projects have been funded by the City of Greater Bendigo with grants of $110,000 for Elmore, and $180,000 for Heathcote, from the Victorian Government.<\/p>\n

“The Heathcote Changing Place is expected to be complete by July 2024 and Elmore is expected to be completed before the end of 2024.”<\/p>\n

Changing Place facilities provide a secure, fully accessible public toilet with space on either side for carers.<\/p>\n

They also feature a moveable ceiling hoist, adjustable height adult changing table, privacy curtain and a safe clean environment for people with severe and profound disabilities.<\/p>\n

Changing Places allow people with disabilities to participate more fully in events without having to worry if there are suitable toilet facilities available.<\/p>\n

Access is available 24 hours, seven days a week to holders of a Master Locksmiths Access Key.<\/p>\n

The MLAK system is fitted in a wide range of locations throughout Australia.<\/p>\n

People with a disability can purchase an MLAK master key which will open all public facilities fitted with this specially designed lock.<\/p>\n
