Foreshore Toilet Renewal Project complete
The Foreshore Toilet Renewal project is now complete and open to the public!
The project which commenced in July - has produced a contemporary facility that will improve safety, accessibility, and practicality for all users. It was identified that the footpath in front of the Visitor Information Pod needed an upgrade, these works were also carried out during the project period.
Mayor Phill Stone is pleased with the project's completion, stating, "This project will greatly benefit everyone who enjoys the foreshore area. I am happy to see it complete and open to the public, providing modern facilities for both our community and visitors, while also recognising our past through the fantastic vinyl wrap across the back.
” I would like to extend a huge thank you to the community for their patience during the works and to all contractors involved in the project.”
Key contractors – most of which are local businesses – include Terrain Group, Stassi Engineering, Whyalla Earthworks, Environ Plumbing, ALEP Electrical Contractors, Vawser Concrete and Contracting, Tonkin Concreting Services and Dunstall Excavations.
