       2.5.3  Detailed Business Case—Development of Options

   As part of the Initial Business Case process the Australian government accepted the Memorial's recommendation that the option that best met the need for the Project was the construction of additional gallery space on the main Memorial site at Campbell. This led to the development of a Detailed Business Case in 2018.

   The Detailed Business Case commenced with the development of a User Requirements Brief which investigated and recorded the specific project requirements through a detailed analysis of each of the Memorial's three functions. Concurrent with the development of the User Requirements Brief, detailed investigations into the conditions and constraints of both the existing buildings and the site were undertaken.

   On completion of the User Requirements Brief and the site investigations, a Functional Design Brief was developed. The Functional Design Brief set down the specific functional and spatial requirements for the Project. This Functional Design Brief included an analysis of the conflicts and operations and the amount of space required to appropriately and equitably tell those stories.

   The Functional Design Brief was approved by the Memorial Council which formed the basis of the Project cost and built outcomes proposed to Government as part of the Detailed Business Case submission. The Functional Design Brief also established the requirements to be delivered through the design process.

  Design Outcome to be achieved through Detailed Business Case Stage

 The design outcomes from the Detailed Business Case process were intended to identify the broad scope and develop, analyze, and assess locations for the additional space to be created for the Project.

  Precinct Solution for Additional Gallery Space—Options Development

 At the start of the design process, a four-day design charrette was conducted in which five senior architects and ten Memorial staff participated. As part of the design charrette, all possible options to create additional space to meet the User Requirements Brief were considered. The outcome of the four-day charrette was that four design options were selected to be further developed. These were based primarily on four key variables being:

      * the location of a second entrance;

      * the location of new gallery space;

      * whether the Glazed Link was included; and

      * the location of the additional car parking.

 There were a number of project elements that were consistent with all options such as the Main Building Refurbishment, Bean Building Refurbishment and Extension, and the construction of a Research Centre between the existing Bean Building and Poppy's Café.

 The four options and their key elements in summary are:

                   Option 1 Second Entrance South underground New Gallery Space North underground Glazed Link              Yes
                   Additional Car Parking  Above ground to the north
