Background
The City of Marion is seeking community feedback on a proposed new standalone public toilet and the preferred location for installation within Warradale Park Reserve.
This project was identified as a key priority in our Open Space Plan 2024-2034.
The planning process has involved a site audit to determine the most suitable location, which considered access, service location, existing trees and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles.
The two potential locations include:
Location - Along footpath between play space and tennis courts
Design considerations:
1. More central location with easy access from tennis courts and playground.
2. More cost effective as services are closer than Option B (ie. water, sewer, electricity).
3. All abilities access pathway already exists.
4. Minor vegetation removal required for toilet.
5. Opportunity for additional planting around toilet in existing garden bed.
6. Opportunity for mural on toilet.
Location - Along the oval loop path
Design considerations:
1. Central location in reserve, with easy access to playground and cricket nets.
2. Higher cost for installation of services than Option A (ie. water, sewer, electricity).
3. Clear sight lines to front of toilet exist from the oval and Struan Ave.
4. No vegetation removal required for toilet.
5. Opportunity for new un-irrigated garden bed next to toilet.
6. Opportunity for mural on toilet.
