Kilsyth Sporting Stadium accessible toilet update

Works are underway for an additional accessible toilet at Kilsyth Sporting Stadium, Pinks Reserve, Kilsyth. The Changing Places facility is being constructed as part of the larger stadium improvements, with the new accessible facility expected to be in operation in mid 2024.

The Changing Places project has worked with the Disability Advisory Committee to ensure that there is an accessible, safe and inclusionary location for members of the public to access seeking relief during times of emergency.

These toilets were built as part of the Changing Places program and provide:

  • a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench
  • a ceiling hoist to help lift the person out of their wheelchair and onto change table or toilet
  • a spacious area for carer and person with a disability
  •  a safe and clean environment
