WOWLY CREEK - PUBLIC TOILET

For many years we have been trying to get a permanent public toilet erected and maintained in this very popular swimming spot, particularly with visitors. Alas, to no avail - but we will keep trying! With nearly a 10 min walk to the closest public toilet - people are using the surrounding bush or our beautiful coastal waters.

We aren't asking for a palace! A basic toilet, screened from the nearby dwellings.

Meeting Date:     Tuesday, 21 January 2025

 

"Presentation of Petitions

Clr Tribe presented a petition containing 2,387 signatures which states: We, the undersigned, hereby respectfully request Shoalhaven City Council to install an environmentally sound, permanent, public toilet near the Wowly Creek picnic area at the top of the access stairs. The closest public toilets are located at the Callala Bay Boat Ramp, nearly 1 kilometre away. Families and other visitors often use the surrounding bushland as the toilet and this is not only unsightly but also a health hazard. The local residents are concerned about the rubbish around the area from toileting activities. This matter has been raised by the Callala Bay Community Association with the Shoalhaven City Council for over a decade. In recent years, Council has placed a “portaloo” at Wowly Creek, attempting to alleviate the problem over Summer; however, the “portaloo” is not regularly cleaned and has been subject to vandalism on several occasions, including by pushing over, which has added to the problem.
