ProposalDescription: 

Recreational Lounge Specification. Construction of a new timber deck of Evalast decking on timber joists and bearers fixed in place on gumpoles planted in concrete footings with protection layer between the concrete footing and rocky natural ground, all to engineer’s and specialist detail and specifications. Including stainless steel frame and wire balustrades, and deck lighting as per engineer’s specification attached. Existing Shop ; Internal Building Changes ; The existing building has been documented and scanned using a 3D laser point cloud scanner which has captured the current state and configuration in great detail for record purposes. The current layout and furnishing which is not conducive to relaxing and is awkward in configuration should be removed (fixed half round benches) and opened up to provide much more seating space. The existing service counter (historic bar counter) can be retained and adapted and refurbished to function better with the enlarged kitchen/preparation area. The rest of the wood paneling on the walls can also be incorporated into the new interior.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Updated Design for Approval  The final design only includes the development and construction of the northern side deck (Deck A) as further investigation proved the extent of the original proposed development for the refurbishment of the Alpha 1 restaurant too costly at this time and addition of the southern deck not feasible.  The aim of the northern deck is to provide a safer formalised viewing space for tourists upon visiting the viewing point at Alpha 1.  The deck will be constructed of timber and composite timber by design to follow the natural curve of the rocky outcrops, including a stainless steel handrail to the eastern water edge as a public safety measure.  The deck will be secured on gumpoles planted in concrete bases with a protective DPC layers between the cast concrete and rocky outcrop. No parts of the deck will be permanently fixed to any existing natural conditions.  No furniture is included in the final design. Seating and shade elements will be moveable to be set on the deck when required.  Refer to Annexure A for the Engineer’s drawings depicting the extents of the deck which utilise the same area as the original northern deck concept.  Access onto the deck includes stairs as well as a ramp for disabled visitors.
