7.2 Summary of Past/Prospective Renter Suggestion feedback
Results of consultation with previous and prospective renters;
Renter suggestions as below:
1. Layout change that would see the disability toilet entry not visible from the dance floor and stage.

2. Move the bar area to accomplish item 1. Bar could dual purpose as a meeting room bench.
    Create an entry to the toilets behind the bar area, move the tables to a store room behind/beside the
    bar area. Easy access to the disability toilet is paramount. (Richard currently drafting options for
    presentation to committee and council). Committee thus far expressed the desire for minimal
    structural and plumbing to achieve this. A suggestion to move the bar closer to the kitchen was
    proposed but dismissed re congestion/plumbing/construction concerns; decided closer to the current
    position was preferred option. The decision was made to reduce the size of the bar area for now to
                                                 t
    accommodate regulation toilets. At some later date these ideas may be revisited, particularly as
                             af
    wedding and similar events increase.

3. Committee agree that any room divider must be able to be fully opened as are the existing folding
    louvre doors. The natural ventilation of the hall must not be inhibited.

4. Dressing rooms to the sides of the stage rather than storerooms; preferably with basin and mirrors
    especially for the ladies. More space to the sides of the stage in the wings.


5. Better access to the stage particularly on the right-hand side (make same as the left with stairs rather
    than a drop-off)


6. Power points that may be better positioned or more of for ease of use

7. Better acoustics (needs more investigation) perhaps the stage could better project the sound.

8. The dancefloor must remain a timber dancefloor as many users require a timber dance floor.
    Aesthetically this is part of the heritage attributes of the hall.
9. The natural ventilation from any windows must not be inhibited. No mention has been made of air-
    conditioning; the hall is well designed to catch natural breeze for cooling and ventilation
10. Warming in winter could be a consideration
