This 1:250 plan of the site (original, left) shows how the carpark off the side of the theatre
is just wasted space and was filled in with patchy concrete and compacted gravel, this
would not help with the natural absorption for the overland flow.

This is the new implemented changes (right) that we want to do to the site, we want to remove sections of the wall that surrounds the carpark, remove the concrete and have grass
there and have a outdoor stage with bleachers.
The site also consists of more trees and having the canopies all connect to allow wildlife to use this area to move around.

With the implementations, we want to remove parts of the pavers to allow street overland flow to be absorbed into these areas for the river health.
This plan also now shows the locations of the trees that will help with natural shading to allow people to use this park when there is no event on during hot or cold days with the tree canopy.

With this drawing, it shows when there is a rainfall/ flooding event, this is where the water will be seen, it will allow the water to infiltrate into the soil to help fill up the natural aquifer that is under the site, and prevents the flooding in the street as this will capture parts of it.

The 1:250 original plan, seen on the right here shows the entire site boundaries, which is being almost a triangle, with the school building situated near the road. We noticed that the outside green areas were so separate from the building, and that the overland flow near the road has nowhere to go.

With the changes made for the design, we want to remove walls from the ground floor, in the sections it is more evident, but the site is on a slope, and we with to connect the from of the site to the back through the building, therefore removing the front and back walls to create a new space below.

In this zoomed up original 1:50 plan, we can see that the building (plan taken from first floor) is split into the classroom zones, and there is also a balcony that is connected in the ‘U’ part of the building that is connected to an external staircase to get down to the tabled area seen.

The drawing shows the wet and dry plans, the wet shows how there is rocks to the left to slow down the flow and to capture some of the water to encourage new plant growth before the water eventually sits and slowly gets absorbed in the middle, where it is clear most plants are growing.
