Hume council marked World Toilet Day yesterday by celebrating new public toilets set to be established across the municipality.

World Toilet Day is an internationally observed day aimed at valuing the invention of the toilet.

In a post to the Hume City Council Facebook page, the council said there were several new toilets coming to well-used reserves.

“We take toilets seriously here at Hume, so the state-of-the-art loos we are installing across the municipality… are designed with the wellbeing of users in mind,” the post said.

“These toilets are automated, come equipped with lighting and timed locks and are vandalism resistant – and you can expect to see them popping up… in 2021-22.”

The reserves that residents can expect to see new facilities at included; DS Aitken Reserve; Progress Reserve; Greenvale Recreation Reserve; Highgate Recreation Reserve; Vantage Boulevard Reserve; Hume Tennis & Community Centre; and Derby Street Reserve.
