Construction of new toilet facilities progressing

Visitors to the Jo Wheatley All Abilities Play Space may have noticed a new building has popped up!

New toilets are being constructed including accessible, baby changing and changing places facilities. We look forward to having these ready for use early in the new year.

The City will also be linking the paths, creating a place for food and beverage vendors to operate inside the play space and installing additional barbecues.

What is a changing places facility?

Changing places facilities have been introduced to provide suitable toilets for people who cannot use standard accessible toilets. These facilities allow people with high support needs to enjoy the day-to-day activities that many of use take for granted.

In addition to the unisex toilets and an accessible toilet, the City is constructing a separate changing places room that includes a height adjustable adult sized changing bench, a constant charging ceiling track hoist system and a shower as well as toilet facilities. This room will be accessible to holders of an MLAK key.

For more information about an MLAK key or how to apply for one, please visit the Master Lock Smiths website.
