Council newly constructed Eastmans Beach amenities block now open

Commissioner Andrew Wardlaw said the new build was not only suggested by Councillors during their 2023/24 budget infrastructure tour, but also by local community groups such as Bridport Innovations, where the need for expanded public facilities in this area was identified.

“With increased visitation to not only the Bridport Seaside Caravan Park, but the Bridport foreshore in general, the requirement for improved public and Park facilities was a high priority for Council. The provision of a public hot water shower was highlighted by the community and incorporated into the design for use by day visitors to the area”, he said.

Construction of the new amenities block was undertaken by local contractors and is multi-use, with facilities for both the public and Park patrons to use. The public have 24 hr access to an all-access unisex toilet / shower and one dedicated shower stall. Park patrons have pin code access to the remaining facilities including four toilets, one shower and one disabled unisex toilet / shower.

Bridport Seaside Caravan Park Managers, Phil and Kate are excited to see the new amenities block open. “We are thrilled to see the completion of the new amenities block at Eastmans Beach. Council’s commitment to improving public infrastructure aligns with our goal of providing top-notch amenities for our guests. This modern facility not only enhances the experience for our park patrons but also serves the broader community and we believe this new addition will significantly contribute to the comfort and convenience of all visitors to Bridport,” they said.

This project was made possible with funding provided by the Australian Government via Phase 4 of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure funding stream in conjunction with Council.
