7.6.1      ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

Business uses code – Safety and security – O24 (S24.4)

    S24.4 Recessed doorways are avoided where the recess is of sufficient size to conceal a
    person. Where recessed doorways are unavoidable, measures are used to enhance safety,
    as follows-

        a) Good lighting installed;

        b) Strategically placed mirrors installed;

        c) Angled approaches provided; or

        d) Gates which restrict access provided.

Comment: Building entries to each tenancy have been recessed to create interest and
identification. The plans show that landscaping treatments are provided at the entrance to each
tenancy to achieve easily discernible entry points. Appropriate lighting will be provided. The
proposed layout is considered to comply with O24.
