Response to Information Request - Final 21 March 2024 · MCU23/0096

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




that were to be provided under the Deed of Agreement, along with improved traffic
management in this location.

The proposed PAC has specific design requirements to provide the lighting and acoustic
environment to be used for the performing arts. This building contains the necessary music,
drama, practice rooms, and other facilities in the one location, which is logical and an
efficient use of resources. It is common for schools, across state and non-state sectors, to
provide a PAC or equivalent. The PAC is being provided in response to an identified
community need, which will ensure that the GSLC will remain competitive in the future. The
proposed development is at considerable cost for a not-for-profit organisation for the
benefit of the community.

While the proposed PAC exceeds the nominated building height in metres under the
acceptable solution, it is two (2) storeys in height, and meets the performance outcome. The
building is integrated within the existing educational establishment and is well removed from
Walter Hay Drive and other boundaries. The proposed PAC will have a bulk, scale and form
that is compatible with other buildings within the existing educational establishment, in
particular the Sports Hall (Building K) to the west, which is 1.45m higher. The building is
mostly sleeved by other buildings, is in keeping with the character of the area, and will not
have a visual amenity impact on the major road network.

The existing and proposed onsite parking and traffic management infrastructure will improve
the current traffic management situation for the GSLC. Further, the proposed development
as a whole will not result in any unacceptable offsite impacts.

The proposed development complies with the planning scheme and ought to be approved
subject to reasonable and relevant conditions being imposed.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please contact me.

Yours faithfully
