The Project
The new Ivanhoe Grammar School Plenty Campus Aquatic and Wellness Centre is situated in 730 Bridge Inn Road, Doreen, just a 10-minute walk to Towerhill Park and close by Plenty Gorge Parklands.
The two-story Aquatic and Wellness Centre will provide a range of facilities, including an eight-lane 25m indoor competition pool, a separate learn-to-swim pool, a gym and weights training centre, change room amenities and four dedicated multi-purpose classrooms.
Our Work
Following a site inspection, our planning team identified trees which would need to be protected. Peddle Thorp provided a site-responsive design to retain a mature Walhangara White Gum close to the proposed building envelope, adopting protection measures from the project arborist. Our planning team reviewed the plans, finalised a comprehensive planning package and lodged a planning application with the Minister for Planning.
The application was considered by the Department of Transport and Planning on behalf of the Minister for Planning given the development met the threshold requirements for cost of development for non-government schools. This process was introduced into the planning scheme by Amendment VC180, which sought to fast-track non-government school applications for new schools and upgrades.
The process enables a streamlined assessment, including prompt pre-application advice and a planning permit issuing in under a month from lodgement.
