WORKS TO COMMENCE ON AMENITIES BUILDING

Council is happy to advise that the long-awaited upgrade works for the CBD Amenities at 27 Henty Street, Portland, will commence on Wednesday 18 June 2025. These works will involve the demolition of the existing toilet block and construction of a new facility designed to enhance accessibility and convenience for the community. This project is expected to be completed within approximately four months, subject to weather conditions.

Project impact and site access

To facilitate the commencement of works, the existing amenities building will be closed to the public from the 18 June 2025. Temporary toilets will be provided near the CBD amenities (please refer to image). Should people not wish to use the temporary toilets or require showers, signage will be placed on the site fencing to help community find the location of alternative facilities and showers. These are also listed in the FAQs on this page.

Access to the carpark from Henty Street will not be impacted. The footpath on Henty Street and into the carpark will still be usable but the width will be reduced due to the installation of site fencing. We would ask that people take care when moving around the works.
