The aim of this project is to replace and relocate the existing amenities at Henderson Park with new inclusive, accessible amenities in a more suitable area within Henderson Park to enhance pedestrian safety.

The key objectives of this project are to:

• Replace existing amenities with a new inclusive, DDA compliant amenities building to service the increasing volume of local and visiting recreational boaters and park user groups, including events.

Construction timeline

The amenities are now complete and open to public use.

Future of the existing amenities building

The current amenities are still open for public use and will be closed at the end of the school holidays. Following the closure, we'll be advertising an Expression of Interest for the use of the existing building, adhering to the Crown Land Management Act.

In March 2024 we held a drop-in with local residents to work through the draft designs for the new amenities in Henderson Park. As per the newsletter from March 2024 the new location was to be located near the BBQ shelter. However, following the feedback received at the drop-in we adjusted the planned location of the new amenities. It will now be built closer to the children's playground and right next to the town centre precinct.

This new spot offers several advantages:

• Improved safety: increased passive surveillance with more people using the area around the playground
• Reduced impact: Less disruption for residents and users of the BBQ shelter
• Convenience for families: Easier access for families with young children who need restrooms

Due to the location change, the boat ramp car park won't need any modifications made.
