Strategy
Greg Rowe and Associates were appointed to obtain development application approval for a major engineering facility over a 5 hectare site in the new Pinjarra Industrial Estate.
The primary tasks were:
- to undertake detailed design of the facades of various industrial and office buildings; and
- prepare an accompanying town planning report detailing compliance with the requirements of both the Shire of Murray and LandCorp’s Pinjarra Industrial Estate Design Guidlines.
Involvement of Greg Rowe and Associates Peel / South West Regional Office was vital to the prompt lodgement and approval of the development application. The relationship of this office with local authorities is second to none due to the previous employment and working relationships of the Greg Rowe & Associates staff in the region.
The strong relationship that Greg Rowe and Associates has with local authorities allows for a greater understanding of their objectives and procedures and promotes better lines of communication. The wide range of design requirements applicable to this development was well understood by our office, allowing the timley preparation of an application.
Design
In association with our design studio, Greg Rowe and Associates was able to address the wide range of design requirements such as building form, colours and materials, site design and landscaping.
Our appreciation and understanding of the principles of sustainability contributed to an innovative approach to the development application. Site design elements such as consideration of prevailing winds, solar orientation, water conservation and drainage retention were incorporated into the plan with the aim of enhancing the integrity of the proposed land use.
Town Planning
Greg Rowe and Associates prepared an application generally in accordance with LandCorp’s Design Guidelines and Shire of Murray policy.
Some variations to the Guidelines were necessary to cater for unique site circumstances. These variations were accepted by the approval agencies based on the justification provided by Greg Rowe and Associates.
Final approval was granted soon after lodgement with the relevant authorities and the Client is now able to proceed with an application for building licence.
