AFTER being ranked the number two priority for recreational facility in need of upgrades, North Perth Bowling Club’s ancient toilets have been upgraded.
The club opened in 1907, and the previous loos looked like they couldn’t have been much newer than that. Aside from falling apart, they’d fallen out of compliance with current standards, and had attracted an $80,000 election funding promise by Labor in 2021.
A Vincent council report from March 2023 ranked the toilets as number 2 priority in need of state funding.
The cash has now come through and alongside co-funding from Vincent council the works are complete and they have new male and female loos along with an accessible unisex toilet.
Mayor Alison Xamon and Perth MP John Carey joined club president Ken McCabe for the ribbon cutting ceremony this week.
“We have waited and watched the progress for this upgrade and are very pleased with the outcome,” club committee member Glenys McCabe said. “There has been numerous comments from patrons expressing their gratitude that we now have modern, top-class facilities.”
Ms Xamon said, “the new toilets are a huge boost to the club and will benefit people of all ages and abilities”.
“The North Perth Bowling Club is a great sporting organisation that brings people together in our local community – it’s a hub of activity and events and these upgrades are much-needed,” Mr Carey added.
