Replacement of old toilets – Westside Foreshore (Loudon Road)

In preparation towards construction of new toilets for Westside Foreshore (Loudon Road), the contractors are scheduled to be onsite from 11th June 2026 to carry out the work including demolition of the existing Exeloo Toilet. The construction of new toilet is expected to be completed by 31st July 2026. The Contractor will be installing site fencing of the work site to ensure safety to the public.

Visitors are requested not to enter the work site during this period, as the works will involve the use of machinery.

In the meantime, public toilets are located at Mellor Street.

Council appreciates the community’s cooperation.

💚 New Blister Pack Recycling Point in Port Augusta! ♻️

Local resident Shirley Mundy, along with a dedicated group of volunteers, has been helping our community recycle blister packs—the packaging used for medications like Panadol—for many years.

Until recently, these volunteers relied on the generosity of locals travelling to Port Pirie and Adelaide to return collected blister packs to National Pharmacies. Earlier this year, they were thrilled to have a local chemist step in as a collection point—but unfortunately, this service is no longer available.

Determined to keep this important recycling effort going, Shirley reached out to Council:
“Saving aluminium from landfill is beneficial, so a local collection point is imperative. Please, can the community help find another recycling point?”

We’re happy to share that Council has stepped in to help! 🎉

A new recycling option has been set up using TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes, with a blister pack collection point now available at the Civic Centre (Customer Service area).

✅ How you can help:
• Drop off your used blister packs at the Civic Centre
• Ensure all packs are empty
• Please remove cardboard packaging before recycling

Every small action makes a big difference. Let’s support Shirley and our amazing volunteers by keeping this valuable recycling effort going! 🙌
