This week, we've been reporting on how a blaze which broke out at the public toilets situated within Melbourne Park, Melbourne Road, claimed the life of one woman.

The tragic death has prompted an outpouring of emotion from the community, including council staff who yesterday said they were "distraught" following Monday's events.

They also confirmed that they were "aware" of the late woman, and had offered her temporary accommodation in the weeks leading up to her death, as well as access to support services.
