Project Summary

Bass Coast Shire Council wishes to advise of the start of toilet block refurbishment works in Grantville.

Council has awarded a contract to Loizuo Design & Construction Engineering in April 2024 to carry out construction at the Grantville Foreshore Public Toilet. In recent months, Council has been working with the designer & contractor to finalise the detailed design, building permits and approvals in readiness for these works to start at this location.

Construction onsite is anticipated to start in early May 2024 and is scheduled for completion at the end of June 2024, subject to favourable weather, contractor, and supplier availability.

Council recognises that it can be a challenge to deliver the necessary works and not affect the residents and public users of these toilet facilities, especially when much of our work is determined by weather conditions.

  • This project seeks to deliver the renewal of community facilities across Bass Coast Shire as part of the objective to contribute to the social health and wellbeing of the surrounding community. After extensive investigation and consultation, it was recommended that the Grantville foreshore toilet block be renovated with an upgrade to provide universal access, public safety and to meet current Australian Standards.

The total project cost is in the order of $111,000 which is fully funded by Council as part of the Building and Open Space Renewal Program.

  • The existing toilet block will be renovated, and the floor plan changed.
  • The site will be fenced off with temporary site fencing and there will be no access to these toilets during construction.
  • Demolition of sections of brick walls.
  • Construction of concrete paths and Disabled Access Carpark to perimeter of building.
  • Signage will be displayed for nearest accessible toilet locations. For further information on these accessible toilet locations, please visit https://www.basscoast.vic.gov.au/community-support-services/accessibility
  • Appropriate traffic and pedestrian control measures will be implemented onsite during these works. This site will be a construction zone and for your own safety and that of others, there will be some access restrictions. Our contractor will make every effort to minimise disruptions to foreshore users. We appreciate that these works may present an inconvenience and we ask for your patience during these times.
  • The use of plant and machinery including noisy, and vibration works during demolition and construction of the new toilet block.
