The public toilets on Dawson Street outside Oakes Oval are set for an upgrade next week - beginning with Lismore City Council demolishing the existing amenity block.

The new toilets are part of a major redevelopment of Oakes Oval and Crozier Field to make the two venues a premier sporting precinct for the Northern Rivers.

The redevelopment includes new amenities for players and spectators, refurbishment of the Gordon Pavilion, and connection of the two sporting venues via an overhead walkway and viewing terrace.

The new public toilets on Dawson Street will be one of three new amenities blocks located throughout the Oakes Oval and Crozier Field precinct.

Demolition of the existing public toilets on Dawson Street will commence on Monday, 11 January, with construction of the new amenities block starting Monday, 18 January. Construction is expected to take three months.

People that need public toilets during this time are advised to use facilities located on the corner of Keen and Woodlark streets, in the Clyde Campbell carpark or in Heritage Park.
