Purpose and general characteristics

The purpose of this precinct is to accommodate the central administration and formal public arrival and visitor functions of the AIS in a distinctive manner that is appropriate to the National status and functions of the Institute.
This precinct is characterised as the main public address and administrative centre for the Campus and is geographically central to existing AIS built facilities. Its function is reflected in the character of the existing building, landscaping, external works and direct links to adjacent door facilities.
This precinct is related most directly to adjacent indoor sports facilities and the temporary administration annex located on the main pedestrian spine.
Development within the precinct should incorporate vehicular arrival, covered setdown and limited visitor parking and also include appropriate landscaping, urban furniture, artworks and signage. Vehicular access through the area should be restricted and most parking, apart from short stay visitor parking, should be provided outside the precinct.

Building Character

The existing character and scale of buildings within the precinct should generally be maintained. However, localised height increases may be considered to allow added locational emphasis for the entry areas. Existing setbacks from Leverrier Street and the Main Pedestrian Spine are to be maintained.
Buildings within this precinct should be limited to a maximum of three storeys or 12 metres to parapet or eaves level, in order to maintain scale with existing development. The frontages with Leverrier Street and the main pedestrian spine should have a maximum height of two storeys or 8.5 metres to maximise winter sun penetration to the spine.

Landscape Character

To complement the scale of development, a strong structure planting framework should be considered for Leverrier Street; with more detailed planting focusing on building entry, public arrival and assembly‑areas. Structure planting, street and avenue planting should be predominantly native species to reflect National landscape content and the existing Eucalyptus planting in portions of Leverrier Street.
Landscape planting within the precinct should mainly be exotic trees and shrub species with irrigated grass areas, including a majority of deciduous trees to maximise winter sun penetration.

Precinct 2: Residential Accommodation

Purpose and General Characteristics

The purpose of this precinct is to accommodate all on site AIS residential needs in an attractive and secure living environment, separate from training and event facilities and general public areas. The needs include housing for resident and visiting athletes and staff, as well as related residential facilities for external training, education, exchange, visitor and event programs.
This precinct is characterised as the main accommodation area for the Campus and the centre of social and community activity for resident athletes and staff. Dining hall, indoor recreation and concessional uses are conveniently located within the existing four storey development,
