Community Building Toilets in Australian Capital Territory

Of the 907 public toilets in community buildings on the national map, 7 are in Australian Capital Territory. That makes it the eighth-largest state total, behind New South Wales (310), Victoria (228), Western Australia (129), Queensland (109), South Australia (76), Tasmania (35) and Northern Territory (13). They sit in 5 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Canberra (2) and Parkes (2). Those 2 account for 4 of the 7; a further 3 towns record exactly one.

Among them are Treasury Building at 1 Newlands St, Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, National Library and National Museum of Australia.

Of the 7, 5 are recorded as wheelchair accessible, 3 have a baby-change table and 6 have parking on site. That is 2% of every public toilet recorded in Australian Capital Territory (314 in total), and 2% of those open 24 hours.

5 of the 7 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Regatta Point Building. 1 is a Changing Places facility, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist. 3 of the 7 have a baby-change table, and 2 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

1 of the 7 is published as open 24 hours: Duffy Shops. 3 open in daylight hours only and 1 follows the host venue's hours. The widest published window runs 8am to 6pm, at Treasury Building. 3 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

1 of the 7 charges for entry; the rest are free. Libraries, halls, council customer service centres and neighbourhood houses are all recorded here. These are the listings most likely to be behind a counter, and the ones most often fitted with an MLAK lock. These numbers come straight from the National Public Toilet Map, so confirm anything you are relying on before you set out.
