Council is improving two amenity buildings and their facilities along the Long Jetty foreshore pathway to create a more sustainable and enjoyable space for residents and visitors. 

The improvements will involve the renewal of two out of four amenity buildings along the 3.5km pathway in Long Jetty that have reached their end of life. The two buildings up for renewal at Gladstan Ave and Archbold Rd do not meet current building codes and are subject to flooding. 

The design of these two buildings and their facilities will be more contemporary, incorporating technology that allows for easier and safer access for all users. Their cubicles have been designed for inclusiveness through greater accessibility and provision of unisex cubicles. The existing outdoor shower will not be removed. It will be reactivated and retained as part of the works and renewed buildings.

There will be three new, modern cubicles in the Gladstan Ave upgraded building meeting the visitor needs with access to a total of four Council amenity buildings for public use along the pathway.

The renewed amenity blocks will also incorporate smart technology to support their daily operations. By having an electronic locking and unlocking system – it will save costs and generate consistency regarding opening and closure times. 

The two renewals will be delivered separately to avoid inconvenience to residents and visitors. The closure of Gladstan Ave will commence 19 Feb and will be out of action for approx. 4-6 weeks until Archbold Rd will commence. The public will be able to utilise the remaining three operational amenities located along the foreshore that will be open during the construction phase. 

The signage featuring history of the area located on the wall of the Archbold Rd amenity building requires removal but will be reinstated. Signage applied to key infrastructure will always require temporary removal due to a building's end of life. As we start to make way for improved amenities, we thank the community for sharing their historical information for the community benefit. Council is working with the community to reinstate the signage using an application fit for the new facilities.  

Council is currently developing a Public Toilet Strategy for the entire Central Coast Network which will be exhibited for public consultation in coming months at Your Voice Our Coast. The aim is that the final Strategy will guide the management and development of the public toilet network over the next 10 years.
