Modernisation of Public Toilets at Lord Reserve
Lord Reserve, situated in the heart of Carnegie, is a key recreational and sporting hub featuring three sports ovals, a shared walking path, and proximity to Koornang Park and the Carnegie Swim Centre (reopening in late 2024). As part of its ongoing regeneration efforts, the reserve is undergoing significant upgrades to enhance its functionality and user experience. The project aims to modernise and revitalise the public amenities, including the installation of accessible public toilets.
