Changing Places Toilets in Western Australia

Western Australia records 42 of Australia's 321 public toilets recorded as Changing Places facilities — 13% of the national total. That makes it the fourth-largest state total, behind Victoria (136), New South Wales (60) and Queensland (44). They sit in 37 named towns.

Mandurah (3), Joondalup (2) and Nedlands (2) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 7 of the 42; a further 33 towns record exactly one.

Among them are Mary Carroll Park - Eudoria Street at 165F Eudoria Street, Jo Wheatley All Abilities Play Space, Elizabeth Quay and Sorrento Beach North. Around Mandurah the listings run to Mandurah Forum, Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre and Visitors Centre Boardwalk.

The mix runs to 14 parks and reserves, 5 community buildings, 5 shopping centres and 4 sporting grounds. Across the set the listings cover 9 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 7 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. They are 2% of the 2,767 public toilets recorded in Western Australia, and 1% of the round-the-clock ones.

38 of the 42 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Deep Water Point Reserve and Memorial Park. 20 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them BP The Lakes and Broome Recreation Aquatic Centre. 19 of the 42 have a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

11 of the 42 are published as open 24 hours — such as Henderson Avenue and Collie Changing Places. 8 open in daylight hours only, 1 lists variable hours and 1 follows the host venue's hours. The widest published window runs 5am to 9pm, at Deep Water Point Reserve. 3 are shown as closed on Mondays. 15 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

None of them are recorded as charging for entry. A Changing Places facility goes well beyond a standard accessible cubicle: an adult-sized height-adjustable change table, a ceiling hoist, a peninsula toilet and room for two carers. They are built to a registered standard, and many are locked outside staffed hours behind an MLAK or locally issued key. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
