Council obscures design details in variation application

Central Coast Council has obscured design details in a development application for Brisbane Water Private Hospital, which seeks to vary a previous approval for expansion of the hospital.

The proposal is "to amend a range of minor elements to improve construction outcomes and hospital function", the application stated.

"The changes are largely a result of input during detail design to ensure compliance with National Construction Code requirements along with general desired hospital outcomes."

The changes include retaining the existing kiosk and rejuvenation rooms which were approved for demolition.

This would reduce the number of beds by one.

They include a "new fire egress arrangement" which removes two car parks, alteration to a staircase and removal of a proposed rooftop feature.

The application stated that together the changes would increase floor area by 10 square metres, add three more beds, reduce car parking by two spaces and reduce the proposed height by 0.2 metres.

Council staff obscured the new design for "fire egress" in the application document with a black rectangle, as well as a comparison of the central courtyard and the new staircase arrangement.

The same details were provided, unobscured but at a smaller scale, in plans also on exhibition.

The council provided no reason for obscuring the designs.

The application is listed for public comment but the council website provides no closing date.
