Toilets with Drinking Water in Victoria

Victoria records 552 of Australia's 2,862 public toilets with drinking water on site — 19% of the national total. That makes it the third-largest state total, behind New South Wales (1,000) and Queensland (620). They sit in 302 named towns.

Swan Hill (12), Horsham (9) and Bentleigh East (8) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 29 of the 552; a further 187 towns record exactly one.

Among them are Galaxy Park at 25 Betula Terrace, McKenzie Reserve, Rye Foreshore and North Park. Around Swan Hill the listings run to Ken Harrison Soccer Club, McCallum Street Median and McCrae Street.

Most sit in parks and reserves (296), with 53 sporting grounds, 41 community buildings and 28 shopping centres. Across the set the listings cover 15 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 53 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. They are 10% of the 5,803 public toilets recorded in Victoria, and 7% of the round-the-clock ones.

463 of the 552 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Gaffney’s Bakery and Seven Creeks Park. 30 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Observatory Precinct and Westfield Knox. 24 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Ruffey Lake Park 2 and Maroondah Nets. 12 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 267 of the 552 have a baby-change table, and 263 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

210 of the 552 are published as open 24 hours — such as Domeney Reserve and Brim. 164 open in daylight hours only, 37 list variable hours and 10 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4:50am at Reservoir Station and the latest closing is 11pm at Shell Indigo Fuels Rutherglen. 5 are shown as closed on Mondays. 216 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

4 of the 552 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Mooroolbark Station and Elmhurst Reserve. 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. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
