Apex Park Changing Places Facility

The Rural City of Wangaratta (RCoW) has engaged EnviroDome Pty Ltd to construct 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. The MLAK gives people with disabilities and their carers access to a network of facilities, seven days a week. [HS1] Details on how to apply for a MLAK can be found on the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia Ltd (MLAA website: https://masterlocksmiths.com.au/mlak/

An accessible carpark will be installed directly in front of the Changing Places facility located in the existing parking area on Clements Street. An accessible pathway will also be installed to ensure safe and compliant path of travel from the car to the facility and from the existing path networks within Apex Park.

This facility is compliant with the obligations and objectives of the Victoria Gender Equality Act 2020.

The Apex Park Changing Places Facility is supported by the Victorian Government.
