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.
Council engaged a landscape architect to establish a preliminary concept plan, however further work is being undertaken on final designs, and will include engagement with interested stakeholders.
