GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                                     17 OCTOBER 2016

                       The metal handrail is due to be cleaned down and repainted with an appropriate paint
                       system, as is the external door to this side of the hall.

                       The entrance set to the western side of the hall is in need of rectification to ensure that the
                       hall can be securely locked when required.
                       It is further noted that the door can be easily opened from the outside when it is locked and
                       as such, will require making secure.
                       The return to the southern end of the western side of the building is exhibiting the effects of
                       termite damage to approximately eight of the chamfer boards. These chamfer boards
                       include but are not limited to the bottom board, the third board up and ninth chamfer
                       boards up from the bottom that are exhibiting significant holes in the face of the boards.

                       The southern end of the western external wall to the room to the west of the stage is
                       exhibiting significant termite damage to the chamfer boards in this area, where they meet
                       the south western external corner stop.

                       It is envisaged that the chamfer boards to repair this section of the western external wall,
                       will come from the lower four runs (or more if required) of chamfer boards that are to be
                       removed from the southern end of the building as part of the works to reinstate the external
                       cladding to the southern external wall.
                       This way, the profile will be the same as the existing chamfer boards that are being repaired.

                       There is a broken pane of glass to the lower southern sash to the western window opening
                       to the area that is located in the room to the west of the stage.

                       The Mini Orb cladding to the window awning located to the north of the disabled access on
                       the western side of the building is exhibiting the effects of corrosion due to the water
                       dripping on the roof, from the join in the rainwater gutter above this area.

                       The Mini Orb cladding to the window awning located second to the north of the disabled
                       access on the western side of the building is in need of refixing to the awning frame. The
                       frames to the various awnings, are to be checked further prior to refixing / replacing the
                       mini orb cladding to the awnings.

               3.003   THE SUB-FLOOR AREA.

               (i)     Battens to perimeter of sub-floor: There is evidence of significant defects visible to me on
                       the external walls to the various areas around the building. These areas include the
                       following:
                       The finished height of the timber battens to the various areas around the base of the
                       building is such, that there are some areas that are in ground/concrete contact.

                       The timber battens and the associated supports are to be modified to provide a minimum of
                       75 mm clearance above the ground or concrete as the case may be.   This is a critical part of
                       the termite management works for this building.

                                                                                                              5

                                                                                                            Page 29 of 67
