features of Type A and Type B

3.5.1 Objectives for hoarding design

The following objectives apply to the design of Type A and Type B hoardings:

a) to provide a safe and structurally adequate temporary structure in accordance with the relevant regulations, WorkCover requirements, adopted Australian Standards and the Safe Work Australia ‘Construction Work - Code of Practice’; b) to minimise unnecessary footpath obstructions

and clutter;

c) to maintain the highest possible standard of pedestrian access, amenity and safety past a work site;

d) to ensure that hoardings contribute positively to the streetscape;

e) to ensure that high quality public art, graphic designs, images and information appropriate to the location are provided where proposed or required by these Guidelines;

f) to inform pedestrians and the city community about the development or work;

g) to maintain materials, finishes, structure and graphics in a good condition;

h) to minimise impacts on utility access pits and hatches, street furniture, street trees and other infrastructure; and

i) to ensure that timber and timber products used in hoardings are sourced from sustainable forests and consist of products that are legally logged.

3.5.2 Mandatory design features for Type A and

Type B hoardings

The following design features are mandatory for Type A and Type B hoardings:

a) obstruction of the footway by the hoarding is to be minimised. Columns of Type B hoardings are to be located at least 300 mm from the kerb and site fences are to be as close to the site boundary as possible;

b) Type B hoardings must ensure the visual transparency of the footway below by maintaining at least a nominated minimum height clearance to the underside of hoarding decks and, in the

city centre, provide vertical and non-continuous counterweights at the kerb;

c) site sheds installed on Type B hoardings must be screened on the side/s facing the public place by including fascias or fabric screens that display high quality graphics (see 3.4);

d) high standards of design and detailing are to be applied to all hoardings, including finishes and, where proposed or required by Table 1, the creative integration of public art, colour, images and graphics;

e) coordinated information about the development and integrated graphics on both the fascia and site fence are to be displayed on the hoarding, including the display of the property address (number) at least 150 mm high and where the permanent name signage is obscured by the temporary structure, the building name;

f) provision for in-ground site works to be viewed by pedestrians (through windows in the site fence); g) high quality and effective lighting of ground

surfaces under Type B hoardings to enhance safety and amenity of pedestrians, bicycle riders and vehicular movement;

h) weather protection for pedestrians and bicycle riders (Type B hoardings);

i) structures that are designed for easy and effective maintenance through the use of durable and appropriate materials and finishes; and

j) timber and timber products including site fences, fascias and decks of hoardings must be sourced from legally logged forests as required by the Commonwealth government’s Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2012.

3.6 Requirements for the key design

features of scaffolding systems

3.6.1 Objectives for scaffolding systems

The following objectives apply to scaffolding systems: a) to minimise footway obstructions and clutter; b) to maintain the highest possible standard of

pedestrian amenity, access and safety past scaffolding structures;

Figure 46: Screening of scaffolding using a high-quality building wrap is particularly appropriate in prominent locations and on historic buildings.

Figure 47: Where scaffolding is required to encapsulate a work site the City may require a construction wrap image to be installed to mitigate adverse visual impacts of the structure in the public place.

Figure 48: Full encapsulation of work sites using impervious fabric to contain dust and debris is permitted subject to the scaffolding system being designed and installed to withstand all expected wind actions in the locality.

Figure 49: Quality scaffolding/meshing systems fixed on the outside face to fully screen the scaffold frame are preferred. Black mesh is preferred, however other colours may be permitted if suitable for the locality or required for work health and safety issues to address scaffold exposure to the sun (excessive heat gain) and impacts on workers. For heritage-listed buildings consideration must be given to the use of sympathetic colours (see Figure 139). Figure 50: An example of a building wrap replicating the facade of the heritage-listed building beneath. The City strongly encourages the use of images and graphics

including large format printed public art on temporary

structures. In some localities this is mandatory (refer to

contribute positively in the streetscape;

d) to ensure that where proposed or required to be installed, high quality graphic designs that include public art and images on screening systems are appropriate to the location and duration of the scaffolding installation;

e) to inform visitors and the city community about the development or work;

f) to maintain screening systems and graphics to a high standard to minimise adverse visual impacts; g) to provide a safe and structurally stable temporary

structure in the public place in accordance with the relevant regulations, applicable Australian Standards including AS/NZS 1576.1: 2010 ‘Scaffolding – General requirements’, Codes of Practice and any requirements of the WorkCover; and

h) to minimise physical impacts on the fabric of historic buildings and other significant structures.

3.6.2 Mandatory design features for scaffolding

systems

The following design features are mandatory for scaffolding systems:

a) scaffolding systems are not to rest on the footway in the city centre, other areas of high pedestrian volumes or where the width of the footway is narrow. In these areas the scaffolding system is to rest on the deck of Type B hoardings. Applicants must discuss their proposal with City officers before proceeding with an application for scaffolding in busy parts of the city;

b) in visually prominent locations and any other place required by the City the scaffolding must be screened from the public place by mesh

or graphics fixed to the outside face of the scaffolding frame;

c) any graphics or images incorporated in the screening (whether mesh or fabric) are to be printed using high quality graphics/images including public art where required by the City. In some cases this may be mandatory (refer to Table 1); and

d) screening systems must be installed and maintained to a clean, tidy and secure standard.
