Shopping Centre Toilets in Queensland

Of the 1,470 public toilets in shopping centres on the national map, 256 are in Queensland. That makes it the third-largest state total, behind New South Wales (526) and Victoria (359). They sit in 193 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Brisbane City (4), Maroochydore (4) and Noosa Heads (4). Those 3 account for 12 of the 256; a further 149 towns record exactly one.

Named listings include Westfield Coomera at 109 Foxwell Road, Noosa Civic, Macarthur Central and Woolworths Shopping Centre Yamanto. Around Brisbane City the listings run to Post Office Square, QueensPlaza and Wintergarden.

Of the 256, 184 have a baby-change table, 227 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 3 are Changing Places facilities. That is 6% of every public toilet recorded in Queensland (4,551 in total).

227 of the 256 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Stockland Caloundra and Moranbah Fair Shopping Centre. 3 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and Stockland Rockhampton. 2 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key. 5 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 184 of the 256 have a baby-change table, and 179 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

10 of the 256 are published as open 24 hours — among them Maple Street Kiosk and IGA Complex. 9 open in daylight hours only, 5 list variable hours and 4 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 6am at Kepnock Town Centre and the latest closing is 11pm at Pinelands Plaza. 1 is shown as closed on Mondays. 95 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

1 of the 256 charges for entry; the rest are free. 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. These numbers come straight from the National Public Toilet Map, so confirm anything you are relying on before you set out.
