Greater Shepparton City Council is pleased to advise work on the new toilets and family precinct (playground) at the northern end of the Victorian Park Lake will commence on Monday 9 July, 2018.
Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Phil Hoare said the new toilet building includes five female and three male cubicles, urinals, three unisex toilets which are all gender accessible cubicles with baby change facilities.
“It’s great to see these works commence. Both these amenities and playground projects were open to community consultation earlier in the year and they will now be constructed.”
“The new family play area will include new playground equipment suitable for toddlers, primary school aged children and teenagers. The playground will include a flying fox, swings and other exciting play structures and areas of shade,” said Mr Hoare.
“It’s exciting to see these projects off and running and the new architecturally designed facilities will improve the look and functionality of this high profile and popular space.”
The existing toilets will remain operational until the new toilets are completed. Once this occurs, the old toilet building will be demolished. A few car parking spaces at the northern end of the lake on the eastern side of Victoria Park Lake near Tom Collins Drive will be closed during construction.
