The project for the replacement of the CBD Amenities is in progress

Council has successfully secured funding through the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure fund to complete important and long overdue upgrades to the CBD Amenities located in Henty Street, Portland.

Council undertook consultation seeking input from community for ideas and considerations to develop concept designs for the redevelopment of the amenities, and as a result the following elements have been included in the design:

  • Safety was the highest priority of the community as the existing facilities do not give a perception of safety when using them
  • Improved accessibility providing safe and easy use for community members of all abilities
  • Ease of cleaning to be able to provide well-maintained facilities
  • Hard wearing fit out and anti-vandal where possible

The project is now in progress. You can view the concept designs here.

    Thank you to everyone for taking time to provide feedback during the consultation period with nearly 150 people visiting the project page during the consultation period. The vast majority of people were in favour of the design and a number of comments were received with safety and accessibility strong priorities for our community. We have reviewed the feedback and made amendments to the design where appropriate.

    Demolition works are set to commence in coming weeks. The site will be closed for approximately 10 weeks while the new toilets are constructed. Temporary portable toilets will be located in the carpark across from the site. Other toilet locations in Portland are:

    • Bentinck Street Portland – Corner of Bentinck Street and Julia Street
    • Breakwater Road Portland x 3 locations
    • All Abilities Playground (disabled access)
    • Old Boat Ramp (disabled access)
    • Nuns Beach Toilets (disabled access)
    • Friendly Society Reserve (Portland Soccer ground)


    During the consultation period we received some suggestions and comments from community. To ensure that all members of community have access to information in relation to the commentary, we have added an FAQ section on this page.

    Be sure to subscribe to this project so you can see updates on the progress of construction works.
