Randwick Council is planning to upgrade the public amenities, bus shelter and kiosk at Goldstein Reserve on Arden Street, Coogee Beach.
The Randwick council has developed two design options for community feedback.
OPTION 1: REFURBISHMENT
The refurbishment option involves renovating the buildings and maintaining the existing visual style.
- Upgraded building retaining the same exterior appearance to match other buildings in the reserve dating from the 1980s and early 1990s
- Similar footprint
- Enhanced interior facilities
- More female toilets
- Retention of separate wash basin areas
- Bus stop seating area on Arden Street almost doubled in size
- Construction cost estimate $4M

OPTION 2: NEW BUILD
The new build option proposes demolishing the existing structures and constructing a new, modern building that blends with the surrounding environment and maximises its orientation towards the park and beach.
- New building design inspired by the Coogee coastline with a curved concrete roof connecting the building’s three sections
- More female and male toilets
- Communal washbasin
- Lower long term maintenance costs due to more robust materials
- Extended paving for café seating
- Storage area for Council operations and Coogee SLSC Nippers operations and buggies
- Construction cost estimate $6.75M

KEY FEATURES OF BOTH DESIGNS:
- Maintains a bus stop, amenities and kiosk
- Significantly increases the number of female toilets
- Provides high quality fixtures meeting Australian standards and providing an improved experience for the millions of visitors to Coogee each year
- Removes existing showers to make room for more toilets. Note: sufficient showers are located along the beachfront and at the lower promenade amenities
