Gender neutral change rooms will allow men or women to change in a large open room but will also have partitions for privacy.

Councillors will consider accepting a tender, for Batmac Constructions Pty Ltd worth almost $800,000, for the demolition and reconstruction of the Wiseman Park amenities building in Gwynneville.

If accepted at Monday's council meeting, new home and away gender neutral change rooms will be built with each including one ambulant toilets, three showers with private change area cubicles and benches.

Councillor Jenelle Rimmer - who has previously been vocal about the need need to upgrade change rooms - said the construction of the amenities building to include unisex changes rooms was a "step in the right direction".

"This is the first gender neutral change room that will have privacy and showers," she said.

"The upgrade will bring the facility up to a modern standard that players and the public expect."

Cr Rimmer said when amenities blocks were originally built 50 years ago, only male players and their needs were considered.

"These new change rooms will be male and female friendly," she said.

"This new building will have partitions. There will be privacy for all."

The chair of the council's Sports Reference Committee said most other changes rooms at sportsgrounds across the city were just an open room with no partitions for privacy.

"On a larger scale I would like council to consider making separate male and female change rooms for both home and away sides but this is an appropriate option and size for Wiseman's Park," Cr Rimmer said.

"As a council we debated and resolved to upgrade the city's long-overdue amenities blocks to accommodate facilities for women.

"We are listening to our female sporting participants.

"Council is not going to have the budget to build male and female amenities blocks for home and away teams at every field. Nor is there the demand for that.

"But when we do renew our facilities we will have gender neutral rooms.

"They will have the same feel across the city and importantly there will be privacy for all players."

Men's and junior mixed cricket teams predominately play at Wiseman's Park and soccer and football teams use it as a training ground.

The existing building has major structural cracking in the walls and floors and no accessible toilet.

As part of the tender, a separate unisex accessible public toilet and three storage spaces with roller shutters will be built as well as a sheltered covered area and new car park and footpath.
