Toilets with Drinking Water in Northern Territory

Of the 2,862 public toilets with drinking water on site on the national map, 59 are in Northern Territory. That makes it the seventh-largest state total, behind New South Wales (1,000), Queensland (620), Victoria (552), Western Australia (378), South Australia (149) and Tasmania (72). They sit in 37 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Darwin City (5), Kakadu (4) and Nightcliff (4). Those 3 account for 13 of the 59; a further 26 towns record exactly one.

They include Casuarina Aquatic & Leisure Centre at 17 Gsell Street, Anula Oval, ASTC Civic Centre and Woolworths Complex Coolalinga. Around Darwin City the listings run to Darwin Waterfront, Bicentennial Park and Cenotaph.

The mix runs to 17 parks and reserves, 9 camping grounds, 4 community buildings and 4 shopping centres. Across the set the listings cover 12 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 5 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. That is 18% of every public toilet recorded in Northern Territory (327 in total), and 21% of those open 24 hours.

40 of the 59 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Parap Pool and Alice Springs Airport. 1 is a Changing Places facility, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist. 3 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 22 of the 59 have a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

30 of the 59 are published as open 24 hours — among them Rapid Creek Picnic Area and Marlow Lagoon Dog Park. 4 open in daylight hours only and 1 lists variable hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 5:30am at Casuarina Aquatic & Leisure Centre and the latest closing is 10pm at Woolworths Complex Coolalinga. 6 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

3 of the 59 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Lorella Springs Wilderness Park and Curtin Springs Station. 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.
