20,000m2 land Meeting rooms co-located with indoor sport facility; Kitchen/Canteen located within a sports park as part of a sporting precinct; co-located with principal community facilities such as a library, community service or leisure facility, arts and cultural facility; swimming pool facility provided with adequate public accessibility within a school, or other public or private facility. Note—Refer to the desired standard of service in the Local government infrastructure plan for maps identifying area A (Centres), area B (General urban) and area C (Fringe). Note—Floor space areas form the basis of the demand for land calculation. If a community facility is stand-alone, the floor space is required on the land size specified. If the community facility is to be co-located, the floor space applies. The location of this floor space within the overall development is specified elsewhere in this chapter. Car parking and other associated services are not included in this figure. Note—In low density areas, it is expected that the accessibility standard will typically not be achieved before the population density reaches the planned minimum density in the Local government infrastructure plan. 13.3.3 Design standards for specific spaces 13.3.3.1 Entry and reception Entrances are accessible, safe and welcoming spaces that convey the range of public activities on offer at the facility, and use the following features: large glazed areas to offer views inside; highly visibility as the public’s first point of contact with the facility; signage; readily accessible from adjoining streets and paths; near a vehicle drop-off point; generous covered area outside entrance to shelter waiting groups if facility is locked; generous reception or waiting spaces inside; flexible main entrance doors to provide a range of total opening sizes; provision of clear directions to various public spaces and amenities; large wall spaces for noticeboards and changing displays or artworks. 13.3.3.2 Offices Staffed offices and administrative are located near the entry and are designed to perform several functions, including: reception counter and control point for entry to the facility; box office or cashier for paying events; information centre; surveillance of the facility and its grounds; potential for social enterprise or a commercial component. Offices for multiple persons are designed as open plan spaces, with: 7m2–10m2 per person or workstation for workspace and circulation, plus extra for storage and amenities; individual offices (a minimum of 13.5m2 where individual offices are required).
