The regional heritage advisor should be aware of the proposal and also any pitfalls to the site eg condition of the building.<br />http://www.heritage.wa.gov.au/local-government/Heritage-Advisors.html <br /><br /><br />There are three choices as I see for 'Stan's Machinery' Shed.<br />- total retention plus adaptation (condition of the building will determine feasibility)<br />- partial retention but no facadism and some interpretation<br />-Detailed Interpretation or at least a commitment for this by the designers and the council at DA stage!!!! This could be comprised of using the timber/ building materials for a public artwork proposal, interesting signs and plaques (snore), floor/ground treatments to interpret building footprint, etc<br /><br />MI sites are regularly demolished, even when they have a high TP Protection status, this status means very little, so there would be a need to demonstrate that this building is well regarded and valued by the community, not just MI entry 246 etc. A petition to begin with focusing on the retention of an important/valued building, but also the gathering of any local stories relating to the goings on of the building in times gone past, as MI entries are usually very vague. Also why not get the local paper on board with some 'great local stories' about the place and the site.<br /><br />The heritage paragraph is laughable, 'creative inspiration' is wholly and totally unacceptable, and this paragraph should refer to an interpretation strategy, for all occupants/visitors of the proposal to understand the local significance of the previously erected building and site, deemed as 'an important part in the manjimup dairy industry' and of significance in the categories of aesthetic, social, representativeness, historic and rarity (why rare??).<br /><br />My initial thoughts are why the specialty shops can't be housed in Stan's Machinery Shed?? a market stall kind of plan or plenty of glass partitions. I would say a great example of this is the adaptation of Balingup's packing sheds for this exact purpose and boy does that make you stop on South Western Highway to have a look.<br /><br />Funnily enough their attempt at interpreting Stan's Machinery shed profile through the canopy extension is neither notated on drawing North Elevation (Ralston Street View) or made mention in the report hmmm?<br /><br />ENVIRONMENTAL<br />Reduction of embodied energy through retention of building, as they mention embodied energy in end of DA report.<br /><br />OK sleepy!AJHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372699170024963815noreply@blogger.com
