enable a new functional and elegant building on the site. The redevelopment will be
predominately contained within the lease area with eaves along the western boundary extending

Lower Floor ‘Actives Area”
The existing lower floor area is to be predominantly retained with some minor extensions to the
north which will incorporate the service and plant areas. These service area directly adjoin the

layout, congested areas, lack of facilities by providing a more functional layout. The new layout
includes:
 Defined entrance area including upgraded footpath and delineation between pedestrians and
 vehicles.

 Reception and administration area.
 Male and female toilets.

 Discrete internal dining areas.
 Kid’s room.

training/meeting room. The level is to be demolished and replaced with a new level comprising
new toilets, offices and a dual purpose lifesaving/function area.
