Figure 2 – Extract of current pitched roof design

The current design of the roof was changed to lower the building height at the front, this
being the most prominent part fronting Walter Hay Drive. While the pitched roofing towards
the centre is higher in elevation, this is for a relatively small portion of the built form and is
further removed from Walter Hay Drive and integrated into the site (refer Figure 2).

With respect to performance outcome PO17, the following comments are made:

a) While the PAC exceeds 8m at the roof pitch being about 12m from the natural ground
   level at the highest point and about 11m from the finished ground due to the slope of
   the land, the building remains two (2) storeys and is considered low rise. Given the north
   south orientation of the building, the height of the adjoining Sports Hall (Building K) to
   the west and the Middle & Senior Years Class Rooms (Buildings J) to the east, the
   proposed development is integrated into the site and essentially sleeved by these
   adjoining buildings. Further, given the context of the site being in proximity to other
   industrial and commercial developments in the immediate vicinity, the development will
   have a visual bulk and architectural scale consistent with the existing character of the
   area.
