TWO toilet blocks at popular Surf Coast beaches will soon undergo makeovers, with new-look designs released this month.<\/p>\n

The Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority has unveiled its plans to rebuild two amenity blocks at Bird Rock, Jan Juc and Grove Road, Lorne.<\/p>\n

The upgraded facilities will include better accessibility, more capacity, improved hygiene, water drainage and eco-friendly design features.<\/p>\n

The Authority indicated it had worked with Eastern Maar and Wadawurrung Traditional Owners to help shape the designs.<\/p>\n

Construction is set to start during next year and take about five months to finish.<\/p>\n

The final designs followed community consultation earlier this year, when GORCAPA said it considered feedback on Aboriginal inclusion, environmental outcomes, design quality, social outcomes, and funding requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to keep the public facilities on our managed land in tip-top shape so they can be used by you and visitors now and for years to come,\u201d the Authority stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe busy Grove Road amenity block will be a spruce up of the existing facility, and at Bird Rock the dated facility will receive a total makeover.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
