After years of surveys, delays and location disagreements, Spencer finally has new state of the art public toilets.
River Cares President Robyn Downham said the new amenities block was finally operational in time for Australia Day following multiple delays caused by weather events and discussions between residents and Central Coast Council on the best location for the toilets.
“There is still a new carpark and pathway to be installed in March but at least we now have odour-free environmentally friendly public amenities,” Downham said.
“At long last Spencer is now on the map and becoming a popular tourist destination, with people flocking to our shores either by boat or by road to enjoy our breathtaking views – and no more breathing-taking smells.
“On behalf of the Spencer and the surrounding Lower Hawkesbury River communities, River Cares would like to thank the Council for delivering these much-needed public amenities.”
Downham issued a special thank you to Sections Manager, Facilities Management and Operations, Troy Burnham, who “worked tirelessly to make this project come to fruition”.
“It would be remiss not to mention and thank the Armidale contractors from the company Pureablue who toiled for days in the sweltering heat to make sure the public toilets were fully functional and in time for Australia Day,” she said.
A spokesperson said Council is pleased that the new facilities at Spencer are now operational and being appreciated by locals and visitors alike.
