Community Building Toilets in Victoria

228 public toilets in community buildings are recorded in Victoria, out of 907 nationally. That makes it the second-largest state total, behind New South Wales (310). They sit in 187 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Ballarat Central (3), Eltham (3) and Emerald (3). Those 3 account for 9 of the 228; a further 155 towns record exactly one.

The list takes in Hamilton Library at 105 Brown Street, Berninneit Cultural Centre, Tarneit Community Learning Centre and Eltham Library. Around Ballarat Central the listings run to Art Centre, Ballarat Library and Town Hall.

Of the 228, 184 are recorded as wheelchair accessible, 12 open with an MLAK key and 104 have a baby-change table. Set against the 5,803 listings in Victoria, that is a 4% share, rising to 1% among the 24-hour listings.

184 of the 228 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Arcadia Recreation Reserve and Rokeby Community Hall. 20 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Cloverdale Community Centre and Bargoonga Nganjin North Fitzroy Library. 12 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Flinders Civic Hall and Frankston Yacht Club. 3 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 104 of the 228 have a baby-change table, and 103 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

38 of the 228 are published as open 24 hours — including Culgoa Memorial Hall and Enfield Harrisons Reserve. 32 open in daylight hours only, 27 list variable hours and 13 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 1:30am at Hamilton Cinema and the latest closing is 10pm at Murrumbeena Park Community Hub. 5 are shown as closed on Mondays. 78 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

Nothing here records a charge at the door. 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. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
