The requirements of the BEGA would generate sanitary fittings for a calculated building population of 479 males and 479 females, if all are regarded as participants, as follows:

Male Female

WCs 24 48

Urinals 48 -

Basins 48 48

Showers 48 48

This level of provision of toilets is excessive and beyond the needs of a facility of this nature.

An alternative method of calculating the population is to regard users of the pool as patrons and this would generate the following sanitary fittings:

Male Female

WCs 2 6

Urinals 5 -

Basins 3 3

Showers Not required Not required

This level of provision is clearly insufficient.

Thus in assessing the sanitary requirements for this building, the requirements of the BEGA have not been used. It was determined that the design criteria for pools set out by the Australian Department of Tourism and Recreation, and the sanitary fitting requirements for swimming pools set out by the Health Department of NSW should be used instead, as it is believed that these criteria better reflect the actual situation with respect to public swimming pools.

Sanitary fitting required using the above criteria are as follow:

Male Female

WCs 7 11

Urinals 7 -

Basins 7 7

Showers 11 11
