Gender neutral bathrooms aren’t a big change for Surf Coast Shire

Councillors at Surf Coast Shire have voted to make bathrooms in the shire gender neutral through amendments to its Community Amenity Local Law. 

The local law has been updated to allow people over six years of age to enter a Council toilet or facility that is signed for use by persons of a different gender. 

JOY Breakfast chatted with Surf Coast Shire Mayor Liz Pattison, to find out exactly what this means for the area and members of the community, as Rach & Dean found out why it’s hasn’t changed anything.
