Consultation on this project has now concluded.

Central Coast Council is proposing a new amenity block in Spencer. To help us develop our proposal, we are looking to the local Spencer community for feedback on potential locations and its overall look and feel.

Community consultation

Between 26 June and 23 July 2020, an online survey was available for community members. Participants were able to select their preferred site for the amenity block or put forward an alternative site for investigation. The survey also allowed the participant to have their say on the overall look and feel of the proposed amenity block.

This survey closed at 5pm, Thursday 23 July 2020.

The results of this survey are now available.

What's next?

The feedback we received from this survey will directly inform our proposal for the amenity block. We are aiming to submit the proposal to Council by the end of this year, and – subject to budget and funding – construction to commence in 2021.

Concept Plan

We have developed a concept plan of an amenity block that shows the building footprint and space required for the infrastructure needed (disabled parking space, access ramp and water tanks). The height of the building will be determined based on the final location and river/tidal flood levels.

Proposed locations

Below is a map with our current proposed locations:

  • Site one: The site of the existing amenity block (Wisemans Ferry Road)
  • Site two: South east of the private wharf
  • Site three: The area near the public wharf

Construction update

The construction of the new Spencer Public toilet building continues.

There was an anticipated completion date of pre-Christmas however unavoidable delays, including obtaining required authority approvals and contactor availability, means the completion is now expected in the new year (weather and other unforeseen events pending).

The temporary toilets provided for public use during the construction period will remain on site until the new facility is open for use. Council is currently looking into the provision of additional or upgraded temporary facilities to accommodate an increased need over the holiday period and will further communicate any updates on this to the community.

Council’s apologises for any inconvenience and will deliver this community facility as soon as possible.
