Communication Strategies Concern with loss of toddler pool & green space and building bulk. We are here Feedback Loop

Sites & Spaces - Summary of Key Findings

THE TOWN HALL WAS THE MOST PREFERRED SITE FOR THE HUB

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE DESIGN IS IMPORTANT TO HEPBURN

THE LIBRARY IS AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY FACILITY WHICH REQUIRES PROMINENCE

ACCESSIBILITY TO ALL SPACES & AMENITIES

A NATURAL LOOK & FEEL WAS MOST FAVOURED FOR THE BUILDING

Design & Create - Community Feedback Concept 01

Concern over loss of green space Support for addition

• f plaza

Keeping the old buildings and integrating the new is very refreshing. Like prominence of library, connection to school and open spaces

Design & Create - Community Feedback Concept 01

Not enough parking provided for the development Concern over removal

• f toddlers pool

ESD initiatives great Concern with

• verlooking of council

Concern with building’s bulk and overshadowing

Design & Create - Community Feedback Concept 01

Site works: Removal of toddler pool Reduction in green space Removal of some trees

Concerns Raised by the Community

Building’s bulky mass overshadowing pool and creating overlooking issues Exterior form and appearance with particular emphasis on building mass and appearance reflecting local character Conserving existing heritage of Town Hall Not enough parking provided by the development

Design & Create - Community Feedback Concept 01

Other issues raised:

Heated pool and hydrotherapy No acknowledgement of First Australians No designated seniors space Future growth - possibility of allowing for this Public toilet access Is the site the correct one? Glass cleaning Storage provisions, lockable pigeon holes Heating of the void Noise, odour and practicalities of the Co-generation plant Limiting access throughout building in different modes

Revised Design Response to Community Concern

Site works: Removal of toddler pool Reduction in green space Removal of some trees Relocate and upgrade toddler pool Retain as much green space as possible Retain significant trees Improved pool amenities

Community Concern: Proposed Design Solution:

Retain as Much Green Space as Possible - Existing

Retain as Much Green Space as Possible - Summer Mode

Secure entry Existing pool retained Toddlers pool and play area side by side away from Landscaped lawn tiered to upper plaza. Flexible use for summer and winter Existing palms and trees retained Shade sails in summer Summer fence line - enables more green space around the pool during summer months Summer shading 290sqm plaza

Trees / groups 1-6 are to remain. Tree Group 07 - To be removed Species: Acacia Howittii & Sticky Wattle Review: Poor health unsuitable for retention Tree group 08 - To be removed Species: Pittosporum Variegated Review: Good health Tree 09 - To be removed Species: Evergreen Alder Review: May cause damage to brick wall & trunk wounds - unsuitable for retention. Tree 10 - To be removed Species: Evergreen Alder Review: Good condition however may cause damage to brick wall Tree 11 - To be removed Species: Cabbage Tree Review: Common species, good condition. Large roots make it not relocatable.

Building’s bulky mass overshadowing the pool and creating overlooking issues

Revised Design Response to Community Concern Community Concern: Proposed Design Solution:

Reduce building mass: Remove one storey to be lower than Town Hall Remove internal staff court Increase setback to upper level Integrated screening

Reduce building bulk

A whole floor removed to reduce bulk and remove possibility of overshadowing and overlooking

Integrated Screening

Additional integrated screens and planting to remove overlooking

Conserving existing heritage of Town Hall

Revised Design Response to Community Concern Community Concern: Proposed Design Solution:

Revise proposal to keep council chambers as
