Lyell McEwin Health Precinct Master Plan - City of Playford

0 50100200m5.0 Master Plan5.1 IntroductionThe existing Hospital site of 8.4 hectares has extensive building site coverage which willincrease with Stage C over the next four years. While Stage C buildings have been designedto carry additional levels, Stage A and B were not. As a result, there are a limited number oflocations for new buildings and additional fl oor area on the Hospital site. Stage A and B couldbe re-engineered to carry additional fl oors but with substantial disruption to the Hospital’soperation and re-construction of services including lifts this is unlikely.Therefore Stages A and B are likely to be refurbished and renovated over time with spacereallocated for different activities and vertical extensions limited to Stage C.The master planning consultancy team consider that over the next 30 years the LMH willneed to refurbish, partially redevelop and may potentially need to secure additional land areain proximity to the Hospital. Also, in advancing the LMH Health Precinct, the master planningconsultancy team consider that additional land area will be required to facilitate the variousopportunities that have been identifi ed. Figure 5.1 suggests possible directions of extension ofthe Hospital and Health Precinct.Long TermMedium TermCoreHospitalLong TermMedium TermShort TermThe Mental Health facility is a more recent construction and early in its building life.Nevertheless the Mental Health facility, being single story building and occupying a relativelylarge size site, is a low utilisation of the site. The 8,800 sqm site could provide a 4-6 levelbuilding being central to the site and adjacent to the multi-deck car park in the medium to longterm.The former Metropolitan Domiciliary Care building, to be renovated for a relocated MunaPaiendi facility, is a single storey building and sits upon half of its allocated site area. Aredevelopment of this site (1,200 sqm) could provide a 3- 4 storey building independent of theHospital but on the Hospital Site in the medium to long term.25Lyell McEwin Health Precinct31242SD01DATE: July 2011John Rice Avenue/Haydown Roadwww.hamessharley.com.au +61 8 81123400Figure 5.1: Possible Directions of Extension40LYELL McEWIN HEALTH PRECINCT - MASTER PLAN
