Shopping Centre Toilets in New South Wales

526 public toilets in shopping centres are recorded in New South Wales, out of 1,470 nationally. That is more than any other state or territory — Victoria is next with 359. They sit in 299 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Sydney (23), Homebush (13) and Chatswood (10). Those 3 account for 46 of the 526; a further 202 towns record exactly one.

They include Lismore Square Shopping Centre at 95 Diadem Street, Bonnyrigg Plaza, Warrawong Plaza near Hoyts and World Square Lower Ground. Around Sydney the listings run to David Jones - Castlereagh Street, Stockland Piccadilly Centre and Regent Place Shopping Centre.

Of the 526, 339 have a baby-change table, 480 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 6 are Changing Places facilities. Set against the 7,651 listings in New South Wales, that is a 7% share, rising to 1% among the 24-hour listings.

480 of the 526 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Ed.Square Town Centre and Coles Concord. 6 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Stockland Green Hills and Stockland Wetherill Park. 22 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Ingleburn and Bank Street. 29 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 339 of the 526 have a baby-change table, and 332 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

22 of the 526 are published as open 24 hours — including Senior Citizens Centre and Talbingo Shopping Centre. 24 open in daylight hours only, 14 list variable hours and 5 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4am at Sydney Markets Market Plaza South and the latest closing is 11:59pm at Fairfield Forum. 1 is shown as closed on Mondays. 251 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

2 of the 526 charge for entry; the rest are free: St Ives Shopping Village 1 and Clemton Park Village Shopping Centre. Centre facilities are tied to trading hours, and the block itself is usually the last thing locked. Where a centre records a parents' room it is counted below as a baby-change facility. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
