Our kindy is currently preparing a grant application for Brisbane City Council’s ‘Building Stronger Communities Grant Program’. Our intention is to secure funding towards the refurbishment of both children’s toileting facilities, upstairs (in the classroom) and downstairs (off the playground). Our application gains merit through strong evidence of community support.

We invite members of our community to show endorsement for the much-needed upgrades of the children’s toileting facilities, by signing this Petition of Support.

The purpose of the refurbishment is to provide children with modern, hygienic and accessible toileting facilities. This would allow all children, including those with physical or sensory conditions, to access toilets comfortably. Consideration is also going into the design and incorporation of modern fixtures, for efficiency in maintainability and hygiene.

At present, the downstairs toilets are susceptible to flooding during heavy or extended periods of rainfall. Although some drainage solutions have been installed to lessen the impact of flooding, it is an ongoing issue which needs to be resolved properly. Effective drainage of rainwater affecting the downstairs toilets, is a key element of the toilets refurbishment project, which will assist with ongoing care and maintenance.

By signing this petition, you are stating that you:

• purposefully endorse the refurbishment of Lutwyche-Windsor Kindergarten toileting facilities for children.
• agree with the necessity of preventative measures for flooding in the downstairs toilets during heavy or prolonged rainfall.
• acknowledge that the current toileting facilities pose health and safety concerns due to their age and condition.
• believe an upgrade is necessary for creating a welcoming, aesthetically-pleasing and easily accessible toileting environment for the children.
