Designed by Deicke Richards Architects, the proposed development (A006716180) will see the removal of the existing childcare centre and existing car parking on Level 2 to make way for the new examination centre. To compensate for the lost parking, additional spaces will be created elsewhere on the site.
Development Details
The project will include a 330 sqm expansion to accommodate a new examination centre. Additionally, a 270 sqm expansion will be designated for a new car parking area. Near the entrance, nine new car park spaces will be introduced, while 12 existing car park spaces on Level 2 will be removed.
Demolition work will involve the removal of the existing entryway, the wall between the childcare centre and car park, internal partitions, plumbing, and fixtures. External glass screens and balustrades on the Ivory Street/Boundary Street facade will also be taken down, along with modifications to the Boundary Street elevation.
Planners have stated that the new school building has been designed to ensure compatibility with the surrounding residential area. They noted that a significant portion of the lower level of the building would be cut into the allotment within the Residential Zone, minimising its bulk and scale.
