Rest Area Toilets in Tasmania: what the data shows

Tasmania records 15 of Australia's 602 public toilets at highway rest areas — 2% of the national total. That makes it the fifth-largest state total, behind New South Wales (269), Queensland (134), Western Australia (84) and Victoria (74). They sit in 15 named towns.

No town records more than one; the 15 are spread one apiece across 15 places.

The list takes in Rest Area at 9 Conservatory Road, Batman Bridge Rest Area, Coles Bay Rest Area and Reeves Street, The Esplanade.

Of the 15, 9 have parking on site, 12 are published as open 24 hours and 5 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. None of them records drinking water or has a shower. They are 2% of the 966 public toilets recorded in Tasmania, and 2% of the round-the-clock ones.

5 of the 15 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including St Peters Pass Rest Area and Westerway Hall. 1 of the 15 has a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

12 of the 15 are published as open 24 hours — such as Ross Rest Area and Gretna. 2 open in daylight hours only. 1 is shown as closed on Mondays. 2 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

None of them are recorded as charging for entry. Rest area entries come from the highway stopping places in the National Public Toilet Map. The dataset records the toilet, not the bay: it does not say whether a site is signposted for heavy vehicles, how long you may stay, or whether the stop is lit at night. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
