Randwick City Council is planning to build new permanent toilet amenities in Dunningham Reserve, Coogee to replace the current temporary facilities.
Dunningham Reserve is located on the northern headland of Coogee Beach and is part of the Eastern Beaches Coastal walkway, connecting Coogee to Clovelly and Bondi Beach to the North, and Maroubra to the South. The coastal walkway is popular with visitors to the area as well as regular local exercisers.
In 2009, Council demolished an older toilet block in Dunningham Reserve, and temporary toilets were installed in 2013 following community requests for a return of toilet facilities in the area.
The current temporary toilets are not wheelchair accessible or pram friendly, with the nearest accessible toilets located along the lower promenade at Coogee Beach.
Construction of a new amenities building will include:
- Removal of the existing temporary toilets
- Three unisex toilets and one accessible toilet
- Communal hand wash basins
- Opportunity for public art
- Permanent power connection to remove the need for overhead power lines
- Construction of a sandstone retaining wall to create level access to the new amenities
The proposed building will use a modular, pre-fabricated design which substantially reduces building costs and speeds up construction.
We would like your feedback to help us ensure we design an amenities building that caters to the needs of our community and visitors.
