The current design for the Tuggeranong Indoor Swimming Centre allows for the following sanitary fittings:
Disabled/
Male Female Family Staff
WCs 5 11 2 2
Urinals 7 - - -
Basins 8 7 2 2
Showers 12 11 2 2
Concourse Showers - 2 cold water (to serve the Steam Room) External Showers - 4 cold water Child Minding Centre includes 2 toddlers WCs in addition to the above.
Exemption from the requirements of the following; Clause D1.13, Table D1.13 and Clause F2.3, Table F2.3 Class 9b Buildings.
Item 2 - To permit a relaxing of the maximum gradients applying to the floors of the pools. The ACT requirement for gradients of pool floors is for a maximum gradient of 1 in 20 in water depths of 1.5 metres. The Tasmanian supplement to the BCC (Tom Gallic) (iii) requires a maximum gradient of 1 in 15 in such instances. No other State or Territory has specific requirement for the gradients of shallow water areas of pools.
If the ACT requirement was applied to the Tuggeranong Indoor Swimming Centre a substantial area of the pool would be devoted to extremely shallow water at the beach entry to the Family Pool. In addition, to maximise the programmed usage of the 50m pool, the transition from shallow to deep water was minimised by using the 1:15 slope.
Exemption from the requirements of the following; Clause ACT GLI(d) (i).
Item 3 - To permit the deletion of a mechanical smoke ventilation system. Under the BCC classification this building is a Class 9b building. The application of the Code however, does not adequately take into account the nature of indoor swimming centres. The Centre, by virtue of its construction and the fact that it is a swimming centre, with large expanses of water area which pose little or no significant fire load, does not present as significantly high a fire risk as other Class 9 buildings. All surfaces are non-combustible materials.
