Dear Lin,

RE: Tenancy BP 01-02, Corner Devlin St & Blaxland Rd, Ryde

DESIGN COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT

Please find enclosed our BCA Design Compliance Report prepared in respect of the

proposed design contained within the architectural documentation provided.

In reviewing the content of this Report, particular attention is drawn to the content of

Parts 3 and 4 as: –

❑ Part 3 summarizes the compliance status of the proposed design in terms of each

prescriptive provision of the BCA.

The inclusion of this summary enables an immediate understanding of the

compliance status of the proposed design to be obtained.

❑ Part 4 contains a detailed analysis of the proposed design, and provides

informative commentary & recommendation in respect of each instance of

prescriptive non-compliance and area of insufficient (design) detail, as

applicable.

This commentary enables the project team to readily identify and understand the

nature and extent of information required within the Building Permit (or other)

This “BCA Compliance Assessment” report has been prepared at the request of

Austgrade Top Ryde Swimming Pty Ltdand relates to Tenancy BP 01-02, Corner

Devlin St & Blaxland Rd, Ryde.

The project proposal is for construction of a new Swimming School within the subject

tenancy.

The tenancy is positioned within the car park level of Top Ryde Shopping Centre.

The Centre is a large mixed use building containing, retail, office, assembly premises,

parking and residential classifications.

The subject B2 Level within the parking area contains class 7a car parking, Plant,

Class 8 – Motor Vehicle repairs and the subject premises which we are advised

contained a class 6 retail premises.

The Swimming Centre will be a class 9b assembly premises.

This report is based upon, and limited to, the information depicted in the

documentation provided for assessment, and does not make assumptions regarding

“design intention” or the like.

The purpose of this report is to identify the extent to which the architectural

design documentation complies with the relevant prescriptive provisions of the

BCA 2019 Amendment 1 Parts C, D, E and F2.

Assessment of the proposed design considers each prescriptive BCA

provision, and identifies such as either: –

(a) Being complied with; or

(b) Not being complied with; or

(c) Requiring the provision further detail with the future Building Permit

or other application or

(d) Not being relevant to the particular building works proposal.

The status of the design, in terms of these four (4) categories, is summarised

within Part 3 of this report.

Where prescriptive non-compliance is identified, suitable recommendations to

remedy the non-compliance shall be detailed in Part 4.

In instances where insufficient detail exists, summary of the information

required from the project team for inclusion within future applications (i.e.

Building Permit) shall also be outlined in Part 4.

(iii) it does not otherwise constitute an undue risk of fire spread via the facade of the building.

(b) The attachment of a facing or finish, or the installation of ducting or any other service, to a part of a

building required to have an FRL must not impair the required FRL of that part.

Class 2 and 3 buildings: Concession

(a) A Class 2 or 3 building having a rise in storeys of not more than 3 need not comply with Clauses

3.1(b), (d) and (e) of Specification C1.1 and the requirement of C2.6 for non-combustible material, if it is
