About the Project
This project is now complete! A new public toilet was installed at Ballara Park during June 2023. This was an election promise from the Labor Government for the seat of Gibson.
Community Consultation
The City of Marion consulted on two potential site options from 10 June – 8 July 2022:
- Option A: Close to the future new playspace
- Option B: Near Kelvin Avenue within the park
The consultation was promoted by:

We received 27 responses to the online survey. The feedback showed that:
67% of respondents support a public toilet at option A (next to the new play space)
A further 22% supported a toilet at Option B (next to Kelvin Avenue) and 11% do not support a public toilet at either location
56% of respondents believe there is a need for toilet at Ballara Park
A further 15% do not think a toilet is needed, and 27% are unsure
The full findings from the online survey can be viewed:
Where has the need for a toilet at Ballara Park come from?
It was an election promise from the Labor Government for the seat of Gibson. The new public toilet will be available for use 7 days a week.
What times will the toilet be open?
The toilet will be open from 7am - 7pm daily and will be pre-programmed to lock and unlock around these times.
How will the toilet be cleaned and maintained?
The toilet has an automated floor and seat clean after a pre-determined number of uses. Further cleaning and maintenance will be carried out 3 times a week or as required.
Will the toilet be safe?
The toilet has a restricted use time. If an occupant is in the toilet for more than 10 minutes a warning will sound and the unit will open.
When will the toilet be installed?
The toilet will be installed next financial year 2022/23 (subject to community feedback)
Who will be consulted?
A postcard with project information and a website link to the survey was sent to all local residents within 400m of the reserve. Council will also be consulting the Ballara Park Kindergarten community.
