Project background

Council is proposing to build a new amenities building in Bayview Park, Concord to better serve park users and support the new swim site. The proposed location can be found below. In February/March 2023 we asked for community feedback on the design, layout, and functionality.

The new amenities building may include:

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

Existing building

We are also proposing 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.
