New accessible toilets and outdoor showers to be built

The La Perouse headland is a popular spot for many visitors and locals due to the fabulous beach, views, playground, restaurants and cafes.

The La Perouse Headland toilets are a well-used facility due to the number of visitors to the area. Although well-used, the existing headland toilets are very outdated, with substandard fittings and fixtures, which do not meet community expectations. New toilet facilities are required to meet current standards of comfort, cleanliness, accessibility and compliance. This project was identified within the 2018/19 Capital Works Budget and within the “Our Community Our Future” program.

Latest Update

The La Perouse Headland toilets are situated on State heritage-listed land owned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and in an area with significant Aboriginal heritage.

Council originally intended to refurbish the existing building, and a concept design was endorsed by Council in March 2021. The full Council report can be read here. However, technical studies conducted during the design phase of the planned refurbishment revealed that extensive engineering would be required to stabilise the ageing structure.

Council is currently exploring alternative options, including the possibility of constructing new amenities on the opposite side of Anzac Parade, near the bus shelter. Further community consultation will occur once these options are more clearly defined.
