A council-operated baby feed and change facility is not currently on the table due to costs involved.

Cr Danny Goss, who requested an officer report on options for a facility, said it was an idea of Baw Baw Shire's early years advisory committee.
Receiving an officer report, Cr Goss said "it's not off the table, just at this stage not recommended", and hinted it could be incorporated in the future at the Baw Baw Culture and Precinct Centre.
Councillors voted not to further pursue a facility at this stage in an eight-one vote, noting both the Family Friendly Baw Baw program and mobile facility available for Baw Baw Shire parents.
Cr Farhat Firdous, who questioned why parents should have to change babies in toilets, voted against. "We can't create an inclusive community if we're not catering for our younger mums."
As well as costs involved to establish the facility, the officer report highlighted the risk of vandalism, need for surveillance, hours of operation and escalating costs.
Although noting it would be "well received by parents and carers", the report said providing a facility in one town could see residents of other townships "dissatisfied that a similar level of infrastructure and service has not been provided."
A baby feed and change facility, also called a "parent's room", is a publicly accessible space where parents and carers can sit and feed a baby or change a child's nappy. It typically includes handwashing facilities, sanitary disposal bins, change tables, comfortable chairs for feeding, enclosed toddler play area, microwave, heating/cooling and space for prams.
The report said baby change facilities were already available in some public spaces but typically consisted of one static or fold down change table. These include the public toilets in Palmerston St in Warragul and large council facilities such as West Gippsland Arts Centre and libraries.
Whilst Baw Baw doesn't have dedicated baby change facilities, the report said parents were supported via the Family Friendly Baw Baw program.
Currently, 59 businesses are registered across seven local towns, with 34 providing change tables, 44 providing breastfeeding areas and 46 being feeding friendly.
As part of the report, officers looked into renting a commercial premises, purchasing a commercial premises, redeveloping the Palmerston St public toilets, developing an existing council space, incorporating a facility into the Baw Baw Culture and Connection Precinct or further developing the Family Friendly Baw Baw initiative.
They did not recommend either renting or purchasing premises but noted the others as possibilities for further investigation.
Cr Goss, who initially requested the report in March, said he would take the findings back to the early years committee to seek more input.
"It would be a large budget item and it's probably, at this stage, a little too big," Cr Goss said.
Cr Michael Leaney said it was a great idea but "clearly there is far more to this than meets the eye and it's far more complicated".
He said these facilities were typically provided in major shopping centres and it could be incorporated into future developments.
"There would need to be some careful consideration and we shouldn't be rushing into it," Cr Leaney said. "While I'm sure there will be some people out there who are disappointed that this is not going ahead immediately, it's certainly not off the radar."
Cr Firdous said she understood the costs but noted the community need and sentiment for a facility of this type.
She said the advisory committee had made the recommendation and council should be "trying to find ways where we can support it."
"Not by funding that service ourselves but providing an enabling environment," Cr Firdous said.
Cr Goss called for a division. Crs Goss, Leaney, Annemarie McCabe, Tricia Jones, Jazmin Tauru, Peter Kostos, Keith Cook and Darren Wallace voted for and Cr Firdous against.
