Presentation on the Property Department’s strategy to seek adaptive reuse opportunities for historic toilets.

 

File No.: CP2015/10568

 

Purpose

1.       To update the Heritage Advisory Panel on the Property Department’s strategy to seek adaptive reuse opportunities for historic toilets.

Executive Summary

2.       To brief the Heritage Advisory Panel on the work the Property Department is undertaking as part of its Property Portfolio Review process to find alternative use for ten heritage toilets in the portfolio.

3.       The properties are all currently ‘non-service’ and therefore available for lease or disposal.  The first tranche of these is five properties which are being offered for lease through an ‘expressions of interest’ process. The process allows for a balance between commercial return, urban design and heritage objectives.

Recommendation/s

That the Heritage Advisory Panel:

a)      thank Ian Reid, Strategic Development Manager, Property Department, for his presentation to the Heritage Advisory Panel on the Property Department’s strategy to seek adaptive reuse opportunities for historic toilets.
