Public toilets
Public conveniences along the foreshore are cleaned three times daily from November to March and twice daily from April to October. Public conveniences not located on the foreshore are cleaned twice daily from January to December. The City of Port Phillip Public Toilet Plan 2013-23 (PDF 1.1 MB) provides guidance and practical assistance for planning and decision making in the development, maintenance and operation of the public toilet network across the City of Port Phillip.
The National Public Toilet Map identifies the location of more than 13,000 public toilet facilities in Australia including rural areas and along major travel routes. Useful information is provided about each toilet, such as opening hours and access for people with a disability.
