Car Park Toilets in Australia

736 of the public toilets on the national map are in car parks. Victoria holds the most at 196 — 27% of the national figure — ahead of New South Wales (195) and Western Australia (113). The smallest recorded total is Australian Capital Territory, with 1. They sit in 559 named towns across 564 recorded areas.

The largest clusters are at Nambucca Heads (6), Perth (6) and Coffs Harbour (5). Those 3 account for 17 of the 736; a further 441 towns record exactly one. The single busiest is Nambucca Heads, NSW.

They include Ulladulla - Boree Street Car Park at 6 Boree Street, Eskbank St, Ommaney Road and Sheep Hills Silo Art. Around Nambucca Heads the listings run to Stuart Island, Nambucca Heads Surf Club and Gordon Park. Further afield the map records Murray Street (TAS) and Condingup Football Reserve (WA).

Of the 736, 572 have parking on site, 555 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 376 are published as open 24 hours. That is 3% of every public toilet recorded across Australia (24,446 in total), and 3% of those open 24 hours.

555 of the 736 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Derby Trail Head and Surrey Hills (Union Road). 14 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Kingborough Community Hub and Hargreaves Street Multi Storey Car Park. 20 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Kiama Harbour and Crookwell Main Street - Goulburn Street. 2 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 203 of the 736 have a baby-change table, and 192 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

376 of the 736 are published as open 24 hours — among them Kulpara Hall and Derby Mountain Bike Trail. 189 open in daylight hours only, 19 list variable hours and 4 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 5am at Eskbank St and the latest closing is 11pm at Ascot Street Car Park. 11 are shown as closed on Mondays. 216 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

Every listing in this set is recorded as free to use. The listing is against the car park rather than any building it serves, so the opening times below usually track the car park's own barrier or gate hours. These numbers come straight from the National Public Toilet Map, so confirm anything you are relying on before you set out.
