BELLINGEN SHIRE COUNCIL MEDIA RELEASE

OPEN FOR “BUSINESS”

The construction of the new public toilet facilities in Bellingen’s Church Street “Café Precinct” will be completed just in time for the expected influx of visitors attending this weekend’s Global Carnival.

This significant project was funded under the Federal Government’s Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program, designed by local Architect Steve Gorrell and constructed by Paul Gabauer Building and Construction Management.

The new toilet block will incorporate energy saving features such as natural lighting and waterless urinals and is made for easy cleaning and low maintenance. The toilet facility has been designed, specified and constructed in accordance with the Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD), Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPETD) equity (access and useability), and Efficiency (cost over time) principles.

“Finally no more dark and dingy spaces, this new fresh facility has a much improved accessible toilet and includes a baby change area for mums and dads. Other features include a water bubbler and bike rack. The modern yet functional design compliments the Church Street heritage precinct” says Mayor Mark Troy.
