Shopping Centre Toilets in Western Australia

Western Australia records 136 of Australia's 1,470 public toilets in shopping centres — 9% of the national total. That makes it the fourth-largest state total, behind New South Wales (526), Victoria (359) and Queensland (256). They sit in 100 named towns.

Perth (11), Claremont (3) and Dunsborough (3) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 17 of the 136; a further 77 towns record exactly one.

They include Ocean Keys Shopping Centre at 40/36 Ocean Keys Boulevard, Centro Stirlings, Northam Village Square and Cockburn Gateway Shopping City. Around Perth the listings run to 160 Central, David Jones Level 3 and Myer Lower Ground Floor.

Of the 136, 80 have a baby-change table, 122 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 5 are Changing Places facilities. They are 5% of the 2,767 public toilets recorded in Western Australia, and 1% of the round-the-clock ones.

122 of the 136 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Coles Primewest Southern River and Stargate Shopping Centre Spearwood. 5 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Mandurah Forum and Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City. 2 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Westfield Carousel. 4 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 80 of the 136 have a baby-change table, and 77 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

9 of the 136 are published as open 24 hours — such as Vasse Townsite Store and Shopping Centre. 6 open in daylight hours only and 1 follows the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4am at Allendale Food Court and the latest closing is 11pm at The Park Hive IGA Hammond Park. 2 are shown as closed on Mondays. 37 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

None of them are recorded as charging for entry. 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. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
