Engagement wrap-up
Upgrade on the horizon
Feedback received during engagement has helped us make some changes to the proposed design. These include:
- shower cubicles in both men’s and women’s amenities
- external showers
- internal open change areas within men’s and women’s amenities
- a family change room with shower, toilet and hand basin
- additional bench seating
- shared wash basin between the men's and women's amenities exit
- reducing the roofline height and scale
- change in roof materials to blend into natural environment
- plantings on external walls to blend into natural environment
- retaining all palm trees adjacent to the building.
