Toilets with Drinking Water in Australian Capital Territory

Of the 2,862 public toilets with drinking water on site on the national map, 32 are in Australian Capital Territory. That makes it the eighth-largest state total, behind New South Wales (1,000), Queensland (620), Victoria (552), Western Australia (378), South Australia (149), Tasmania (72) and Northern Territory (59). They sit in 24 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Acton (4), Canberra (2) and Coree (Rural District) (2). Those 3 account for 8 of the 32; a further 18 towns record exactly one.

Named listings include Australian War Memorial at 15 Treloar Crescent, Ada Norris Avenue Neighbourhood Park, Belconnen Fresh Food Markets and Questacon. Around Acton the listings run to Australian National Botanic Gardens - Ducrou Pavilion, Australian National Botanic Gardens - Top Depot and Visitor Centre - Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Most sit in parks and reserves (17), with 6 shopping centres, 3 community buildings and 2 sporting grounds. Across the set the listings cover 6 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 2 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. That is 10% of every public toilet recorded in Australian Capital Territory (314 in total), and 6% of those open 24 hours.

25 of the 32 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Tidbinbilla Ribbon Gum Car Park and Cotter Bend. 1 opens with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key: Calwell District Playing Field. 1 needs a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 14 of the 32 have a baby-change table, and 12 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

3 of the 32 are published as open 24 hours — among them Stromlo Forest Park and Cotter Campground. 4 open in daylight hours only and 6 list variable hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 5am at McDonald's Holt and the latest closing is 5:30pm at Gungahlin Village. 1 is shown as closed on Mondays. 12 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

1 of the 32 charges for entry; the rest are free: National Library. Drinking water means a tap, bubbler or refill station recorded at the site. Councils turn some off over winter or under water restrictions without the dataset changing, and none of these are recorded as tested or treated. These numbers come straight from the National Public Toilet Map, so confirm anything you are relying on before you set out.
