Landmark Products took part in the revitalization of the new Cowes Transit Centre on Phillip Island, Victoria. The Centre joined the Changing Places movement by installing Landmark Products’s disability-compliant public restrooms.
Changing Places is an international project that advocates for all-access public restrooms in major public spaces. These restrooms help transform the lives of people with high support needs, allowing them to visit public spaces for long periods of time.
With more than 30 years of experience with delivering public restrooms around Australia, Landmark Products is an excellent partner for the design, manufacture and installation of Changing Places restrooms.
As well as benefiting locals, the revitalization of the Centre will support the growing number of visitors coming to Phillip Island as a result of the major improvements to the nearby and popular Penguin Parade.
“The Transit Centre will make a significant difference, ensuring the Cowes Precinct is truly a place for everyone to enjoy,” says Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing.
Bass Coast Shire Mayor Pamela Rothfield adds, “Discussions with representatives from local business and user groups regarding disability access, layout, amenities, and design have ensured that we will end up with a transit centre which the whole community can benefit from.”
Changing Places restrooms are a welcome addition to public parks and venues throughout Australia and are becoming a community expectation. In the UK, where the Changing Places movement began, there are already more than 1,200 facilities.
Standard Changing Places facilities include:
- Overhead automated hoist (constant charge)
- Accessible WC, including backrest and lift-up grab rails
- Two 800 mm long horizontal grab rails
- Automatically operated adjustable-height change table with safety rail (1800 mm long)
- Sanitizing wipe dispenser and overhead shelf
- Integrated hand basin
- Hand dryer
- Rubbish bin
- Retractable wall-mounted privacy curtain
- Soap dispenser
- Clothes hook
- Large sling hook
- Automatic door control
- Commercial vinyl floor
Landmark Products specializes in two standard standalone Changing Places restroom floor plans: Type 1A (no shower) and Type 2 (with shower).
Landmark’s designs for these restrooms are modern and spacious, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance, and provide all the automatic equipment and features that are standard with Changing Places requirements. They also feature standard toilet cubicles that offer the maximum range of public amenities.
All materials used in the construction of Landmark Products’ Changing Places restrooms are chosen for durability and cost efficiency.
As with all Landmark products, the full Changing Places facility is delivered onsite in kit form, ready to be quickly constructed with minimum onsite disruption.
