All events should provide an accessible toilet. This can either be a permanent facility that exists in the event area or a temporary facility (portable accessible toilet).
There are various portable accessible toilets available for hire, but not all comply with current access standards. Where possible source an accessible portable toilet that complies with the Australian Standards. Ask the supplier to confirm that the toilet meets these Standards.
At a minimum an accessible toilet must:
- Be provided at a minimum ratio of one accessible toilet for every 15 standard toilets
- Not be locked or used as a storage area
- Not have a foot pump operated sink
- Provide good circulation (minimum 1900mm wide and 2300mm high)
- Be located next to a CAPT
- If located on a ramp, the ramp must not be more than 1:14 gradient and have a landing at the top for a wheelchair user to rest, stabilise and manoeuvre.
