Apex Park Changing Places Facility
The Rural City of Wangaratta (RCoW) has engaged EnviroDome Pty Ltd to contract a Changing Places facility in accordance with Changing Places design specifications 2020. The facility will be located in close proximity to the existing amenities block and other community infrastructure (e.g. BBQ) at Apex Park, Clements Street, Wangaratta. The facility is anticipated to be completed by August 2025.
Apex Park in Wangaratta is a large open recreation space, with an accessible playground, Parkour, existing amenities block and is a central meeting point for community members and visitors.
For people with a disability to gain the social benefits of using the existing infrastructure, including pathways, play spaces, picnic shelters and BBQ facilities, they require safe, accessible toilet amenities. Currently this is not available anywhere in Wangaratta. Providing a Changing Places facility will increase participation in active and passive recreation for people with disability, their families and carers.
The scope of works shall include all works necessary to install a Changing Places facility (Design 2 with shower rectangular) that strictly conforms to the requirements of the Changing Places design specification 2020. (Changing-Places-design-specifications-2020-1.pdf). RCoW is required to engage an independent Changing Places Auditor to ensure that the Changing Places facility adheres to the specifications through all stages of the project. More information can be found on the Changing Places Australia website https://changingplaces.org.au/
To use the Changing Places facility a Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK) will be required. The MLAK gives people with disabilities and their carers access to a network of facilities, 24hours a day, seven days a week.
