Malabar Junction’s old amenities block, located on the corner of Anzac Parade and Franklin St, will receive a refreshing upgrade, with construction starting on Monday 10 August.

The toilet block will retain the exterior walls but the interior will be redone and will include new female, male, ambulant and accessible toilets. The roof will be raised and replaced to improve ventilation and natural light.

The works are part of Council’s COVID-19 support program to stimulate the local economy and create jobs.

Landscaping will include new paths to provide improved access to the upgraded building as well as plants and shrubbery to increase green space in the area.

Noise, erosion and dust controls will be used to mitigate any adverse impacts on the surrounding community.

The works are expected to be complete by early November 2020, weather permitting.
