29 3.3 the concept design planning the Concept Design is based upon the Master plan Option 2 which configured the precinct with dual plaza levels. the following plans illustrate these two levels (Lower Level plan and Upper Level plan) as well as a Mezzanine plan which provides access to the balcony seating of the Main theatre. the concept design also proposes a 200 space basement carpark, accessed off Wharf street. the plans have generally been developed by first allocating the areas and configuring the functions of the performing arts Centre, utilising the proposed realigned service road at the southern end of the site (and agreed in principle with ports north). this functional planning determined the position of the Main theatre and its associated side stages and backstage. simultaneously, the Flexible theatre was configured with its foyer along the eastern edge of the plan at the same level as the Main theatre, and the rehearsal space was incorporated along the Wharf street edge at the lower level. the resulting footprint determined the potential area of the public plazas distributed over the lower and upper levels. two major components of the plaza ‘zone’ were generated: • an external performance space / amphitheatre adjoining the southern end of White’s shed, and; • a combined Community and Catering Kitchen inserted between the two plaza levels, along with a range of amenities the two different levels of plaza, connected by staircases, facilitated the formation of an ‘organic’ plan of stairs, gardens, voids and alcoves such that the plazas both read as interconnected spaces and as a series of outdoor performance venues. <strong>Cairns</strong> entertainment preCinCt || concept design report || cacox rayner the museum preliminary planning brief, prepared by Queensland Museum, is yet to be definitively briefed, and is therefore indicated as a notional architectural solution at this stage. it is conceived as a three level building which penetrates into White’s shed along its western wall (assuming removal of the existing ‘leanto’). the penetrating elements are intended to assist in stabilising the deteriorated structure of White’s shed, and to create opportunities for functional and visual interaction between the Museum and White’s shed. White’s shed is also only notionally designed to act as a flexible community building, containing a series of lettable spaces and large rooms that can be utilised for arts and craft workshops, small music venues, function and meeting spaces, rehearsal spaces and the like. the majority of the interior is, however, left as a large volume facilitating appreciation of the history of the shed, its volume and the craftsmanship in its fabrication. Vehicular setdown to the precinct is planned in two locations: • at the northern end of Wharf street and within the triangular plaza space designated as part of the Cep site • at the central public plaza off Wharf street Both setdowns are proposed to be covered by lower canopies than the main public space canopies. Carpark access to the approximate 200 space carpark is proposed to be from Wharf street under the performing arts Centre.
