Shopping Centre Toilets in Tasmania

38 public toilets in shopping centres are recorded in Tasmania, out of 1,470 nationally. That makes it the seventh-largest state total, behind New South Wales (526), Victoria (359), Queensland (256), Western Australia (136), South Australia (90) and Australian Capital Territory (40). They sit in 25 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Devonport (4), Kingston (4) and Glenorchy (3). Those 3 account for 11 of the 38; a further 17 towns record exactly one.

They include Mowbray Marketplace at 262 Invermay Road, Woolworths Complex Sandy Bay, Margate Train and Bunnings. Around Devonport the listings run to Coles Devonport, Woolworths Shopping Centre Devonport and Bunnings Devonport.

Of the 38, 23 have a baby-change table, 34 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 34 have parking on site. None of them is a Changing Places facility. Set against the 966 listings in Tasmania, that is a 4% share.

34 of the 38 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Northgate Shopping Centre and Bunnings Mornington. 23 of the 38 have a baby-change table, and 22 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

3 of the 38 are published as open 24 hours — including Mowbray Heights and Bayview Shopping Centre. 1 opens in daylight hours only. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 6am at Woolworths Complex Sandy Bay and the latest closing is 10pm at Mowbray Marketplace. 2 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

Nothing here records a charge at the door. 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.
