Jetty and Boat Ramp Toilets in Australia

Australia records 87 public toilets at jetties and boat ramps. Queensland holds the most at 21 — 24% of the national figure — ahead of Victoria (21) and Western Australia (15). The smallest recorded total is Tasmania, with 9. Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory record none at all. They sit in 80 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Lakes Entrance (3), Busselton (2) and Gipsy Point (2). Those 3 account for 7 of the 87; a further 74 towns record exactly one. The single busiest is Lakes Entrance, VIC.

Among them are Fraser Venture Ferry Landing on Wanggoolba Road, Ettalong Wharf, Como Jetty and Port Victoria Jetty. Around Lakes Entrance the listings run to Post Office Jetty, Flagstaff Jetty and Scallop Jetty. Further afield the map records Shoal Bay Boat Ramp (NSW) and Harwood Boatramp, Maclean Side (NSW).

Of the 87, 57 have parking on site, 6 have drinking water and 55 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. Set against the 24,446 listings across Australia, that is a 0% share.

55 of the 87 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Port Bouvard Marina and Town Jetty. 15 of the 87 have a baby-change table, and 14 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

46 of the 87 are published as open 24 hours — including Maria Island National Park - Jetty and Powerhouse Boat Ramp. 30 open in daylight hours only, 1 lists variable hours and 1 follows the host venue's hours. The widest published window runs 4am to 10pm, at Russell Island Ferry Terminal. 31 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

Nothing here records a charge at the door. Jetty listings sit at the wharf, ramp or pontoon rather than in a nearby building, so they are often exposed and unlit. Nothing in the dataset records seasonal closure. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
