After weeks of frustration, visitors to Lake Aura Vale in Menzies Creek can finally enjoy their day out without the added stress of finding a toilet, the long-closed public facilities reopened on Thursday, 25 September, just in time for the AFL Grand Final weekend.
The closure had left many families and day-trippers in an awkward spot, with no alternative amenities nearby.
Some resorted to using the area behind the toilet block out of desperation, leading to growing complaints and concerns about hygiene and the overall visitor experience.
Parks Victoria spokesperson confirmed the toilets are now fully operational.
The repair was part of broader upgrades across the region, but for regulars at the lake, the reopening comes as a welcome change.
With warmer weather on the way and a busy weekend ahead, Lake Aura Vale is expected to draw crowds once again, this time with working toilets and a much more comfortable experience for all.
