The Tawonga South community has been calling for the provision of public toilets, increased parking and a picnic area within the town’s main business area for a number of years.

Council received a petition containing 837 signatures in February 2018 and agreed to investigate options to develop new public toilets in Tawonga South, acknowledging there were limited options for Council owned or managed land available.

In August 2023, Council committed to the purchase of section of vacant land at 244-252 Kiewa Valley Highway in Tawonga South in order to establish amenities and associated infrastructure.

Planning for the new Tawonga South amenities is now progressing, with building renders and site concept designs currently in development.

These designs will be shared for community feedback in the next phase of engagement.

Provisions for estimated construction costs have been included in the draft 2026/27 Budget.

Council is also reviewing usage data from temporary toilets installed last winter, and those planned for the upcoming winter, to ensure the new facility meets peak‑period demand.

In addition, the feasibility of incorporating a Changing Places facility - providing accessible and dignified bathroom amenities for people with high support needs - is being assessed.
