Toilets
Many of Merri-bek's open spaces and reserves have public toilets which will be available for you to use during your event.
As the event organiser you are responsible for ensuring you not only clean and maintain toilets that are already there, but provide any additional toilets which Council may specify.
Number of toilets
The number of toilets to be provided will depend on things like:
- anticipated crowd numbers
- the gender of the patrons (women require more facilities than men)
- the duration of the event, and
- availability and consumption of alcohol.
