Project background

In 2023 we asked for community feedback on a proposal to build a new amenities building in Bayview Park, Concord to better serve park users and support the new swim site. In particular, we asked for feedback on the design, layout, and functionality.

Take a look at the consultation report to see a summary of what we heard.

The new amenities building will feature:

• Accessible toilets
• Cold water outdoor showers
• Change rooms
• Wash basins
• External CCTV coverage

Feedback was open from 3 February - 5 March 2023. Take a look at the consultation report to see a summary of what we heard.

The new amenities building was proposed to include:

• Accessible toilets
• Indoor showers
• Outdoor showers
• Change rooms
• Outdoor wash basins
• External CCTV coverage

Existing building

We also proposed to maintain the current amenities block for storage and potential future uses. The existing toilet block is no longer fit for purpose. With the swim site now open, park users have different needs in the park; toilets, showers, and change rooms will provide park users with the amenities they need to best enjoy the park.

The existing amenity block is too far from the new swim site for the community to get changed and shower after swimming. It is also located closer to residences, so Council’s team has determined that adding amenities could disturb nearby residents.
