MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
18 SEPTEMBER 2012
6. Further investigations shall be undertaken, in the form of a Mortar Test, to
ascertain the condition of the original brickwork and mortar, and the effect the
removal of the non-original render to the façades would have on the structural
stability of the facade. The outcome of the Mortar Test shall be submitted to the
City for consideration. Should the outcome of the Mortar Test confirm that there
would be no adverse structural implications then the non-original render should
be removed and the façade should be re-pointed, to reflect the original
treatment, to the satisfaction of the Manager Approvals.
7. Any original timber flooring, which is of an acceptable safety and structural
standard shall be restored and reused. Original timber flooring should be
salvaged from the demolition of the remaining building and reused in the
conservation works, where the original flooring is no longer extant, to the
satisfaction of the Manager Approvals.
8. Any original ceiling treatments shall be retained in-situ. They may be covered
with a suspended ceiling, provided that the original ceiling is carefully
preserved. Photographs should be taken and incorporated into an Archival
Record, which documents the nature and extent of the remaining pressed tin
ceiling.
9. A report from a Structural Engineer shall be submitted to the satisfaction of
Manager Approvals prior to the issue of a demolition licence, demonstrating that
any modification to the internal floor levels to create one (1) finished level
across the tenancy (without internal steps) will not have an adverse impact on
the structural stability of the building.
10. An Archival Record of the building shall be undertaken to the satisfaction of the
Manager Approvals prior to the issue of a demolition licence. Additional images
of the building should be undertaken during the demolition works to document
the nature and extent of the pressed tin ceiling.
