Planning Option A

Advantages

• Opportunity to provide low planting & landscape along James St &

property boundary at corner of Old Canterbury Rd.

• Will require palisade (school) fence to James St & Old Canterbury Rd.
• High security fence not required for James St & part of Old

Canterbury Rd boundary as building walls will provide sufficient security.

• Opportunity to create integrated design that incorporated a

consolidated built form for building & transformer bays.

• Lower building height

than Option C.

• Transformers concealed

from view to James St & Old Canterbury Rd.

• Compact built form − less

visual impact particularly by utilising the building wall as transformer wall.

ADVANTAGES

Summer mmer Hi Hill ll Zone Substation

7

Planning Option A

Disadvantages

• Building will form a dominant architectural statement at corner of James St.
• Potentially a long building elevation is located in close proximity to James St

boundary.

• Electrical building located on southern boundary will shade James St.

*Note: However that existing buildings & trees currently shade James St.

DISADVANTAGES

Summer mmer Hi Hill ll Zone Substation

8

ADVANTAGES

• Separation of transformers from

switch/control building allows easier access to the building.

• Larger area along Old Canterbury Rd for landscaping.
• Separate building will allow alternative roof design.
• Building & transformer

bay walls provide

• security. Consequently

security fence not required along James St & part of Old Canterbury Rd.

• Transformer bay walls provide security along part of the northern
• boundary. Consequently security fence not required.

Planning Option B

Advantages

• Lower building height than Option C.

Summer mmer Hi Hill ll Zone Substation

9

Planning Option B

Disadvantages

• Electrical building located
• n southern boundary will

shade James St. *Note: However existing buildings & trees currently shade James St.

• New transformer driveway is closer to intersection of James St

& Old Canterbury Rd.

• Separate building components for transformer bays and switch/control

buildings is less efficient. Consequently, overall bulk of development will appear larger than Option A.

• Lengthy building façade is located on James St boundary − will require

architectural treatment to reduce impact of bulk & scale on the streetscape.

• High security fence/wall required along western boundary.
• Building will form a dominant architectural element at corner of James St

& Old Canterbury Rd.

• Potential for

transformers to be visible from Old Canterbury Rd.

DISADVANTAGES

Summer mmer Hi Hill ll Zone Substation

Planning Option C

Advantages

• Separate building will allow alternative roof design.
• Opportunity to provide low planting & landscape along James St & property

boundary at corner of Old Canterbury Rd.

• Smaller building footprint may allow for more landscaping of site.

*Note: Palisade fence will be required to James St & Old Canterbury Rd.

• High security fence not required for James St where transformer walls

will provide security.

• Transformers concealed from view to James St & Old Canterbury Rd.

*Note that transformer bay walls will still create a significant visual impact at corner of James St & Old Canterbury Rd.

• Three storey building

located on northern side

• f new substation site

reduces visual impact &

• vershadowing of

James St.

ADVANTAGES

11

Planning Option C

Disadvantages

• Large blank

transformer security walls are located adjacent to James St boundary creating significant visual impact to James St & over shadowing.

• New transformer driveway is closer to intersection of James St & Old

Canterbury Rd.

• High security wall required along western & northern boundaries to new

substation site.

• Transformer bay walls will create a dominant architectural form at corner
• f James St & Old Canterbury Rd.

DISADVANTAGES

• Height exceeds LEP

height limit.
