It’s a multistorey, not a palace, but the new public toilets at His Majesty’s Car Park are “fit for a king” says the City of Perth.

“Toilets fit for a king” is the headline of a media release issued today to usher in the new loos – located off the arcade beside the City of Perth carpark at 377 Murray Street.

Unlike the marble-clad, gold-plated royal dunny blocks of feudal England, the new toilets are free for the plebs to use.

Perth council supremo Frank Edwards said the facilities replaced others that had been “somewhat utilitarian, uninviting and industrial” in appearance.

“The City has installed new floor and wall tiles, partitions and accessible-compliant toilets,” Mr Edwards said.

“There’s improved lighting and ventilation as well as water and energy-wise products.

“Shoppers and theatre-goers are assured that very high standards will be maintained.”

The new toilets are part of a plan to progressively upgrade, replace and add to the city’s stock of public toilets.

The council provides 25 public toilet blocks.

Six other public toilet facilities are provided within public buildings.
