Auto-Loos costing between $125,000 and a quarter-of-a-million bucks each will be installed around Perth to deal with the capital’s crippling crapper shortage.
The PCC has voted unanimously to pay WC Convenience Management an estimated $650,000 for providing four to eight toilets. The extravagantly named Exeloo Saturn 21 costs $126,656, the Exeloo Jupiter 21 Heritage $208,631, and the you-beaut platinum potty Exeloo Orbit weighs in at a hefty $255,338.
Cr James Limnios says the new loos are vital to deal with the tidal wave of wee sloshing over city streets on Friday and Saturday nights. Three temporary urinals trialled last year collected about 1000 litres of urine each month. “We’ve become more of a later-night economy,” Cr Limnios says. “This is imperative.”
Perth has just 28 public toilets, and only eight are open all night. “Northbridge has been identified as urgently needing more 24-hour toilets to prevent urination in public areas,” the PCC report says.
