4 FIRE RESISTANCE LEVELS

There are no specific fire resistance levels (FRL’s) to a building of Type C Construction that is setback more than 3 metres from a fire source feature.

However, it is noted that due to the buildings setbacks to the boundaries and internal configuration that there are currently no fire rated construction requirements in accordance with BCA Specification C1.1, except for the following:-

a. the entertainment venue requirements of NSW Part H101.16 requires that the first floor level storerooms are separated with FRL60/60/60 construction and that the switchroom is also provided with FRL 60/60/60 construction.

b. It is proposed to provide sprinklers to the front of house lobby area of the building only and in accordance with Clause 3 of Specification E1.5 of the BCA and AS2118.1-1999 then an FRL 120/120/120 fire wall and FRL --/120/30 fire doors are required to separate sprinklered and non-sprinklered parts of the building.

c. Where sprinkler and hydrant pump rooms are proposed in the building then separate fire rating requirements will apply to these rooms in accordance with BCA Clause C2.12, BCA Clause C2.13 and AS2419.1-2005. And the fire rating of these rooms will need to be firmed up at Construction Certificate stage with further design development.

5 MATTERS FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION

5.1 General

Assessment of the Architectural design documentation against the Deemed-to Satisfy Provisions of the Building Code of Australia, 2016 (BCA) has revealed the following areas where compliance with the BCA may require further consideration and/or may involve assessment as Performance Based (Fire Engineered) Performance Solutions. Any Performance Solutions will be required to clearly indicate methodologies for achieving compliance with the relevant Performance Requirements.

Annexure B to this report provides a detailed assessment of the proposal against ALL relevant Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of the BCA.

Note: It is important that Annexure B is read in conjunction with the items below, as some matters may not have had sufficient information provided to allow a detailed assessment to be undertaken.

5.2 Performance Based Design – Performance Solutions

There are specific areas throughout the development where strict Deemed-to-Satisfy BCA Compliance will not be achieved by the proposed design and site constraints. These matters will need to be address in a detailed Fire Safety Engineering Report to be prepared for this development under separate cover:

of 51

5.3 BCA Compliance matters to be addressed at Construction Certificate Stage

5.3.1 Fire hazard properties

In accordance with BCA Specification C1.10, the air dome wall/ceiling lining is required to have a Group Number of 1 or 2 for wall/ceiling lining in accordance with AS5637.1. Testing details of compliance with BCA Specification C1.10 or alternate fire testing as instructed by fire engineer to be undertaken to support the future Fire Engineered Alternative Solution Report.

5.3.2 Fire separation of storerooms – BCA Clause NSWH101.16

As the building will be utilised as an entertainment venue then the first floor level storerooms are required

to be fire separated with FRL60/60/60 construction. However, as it is proposed to house the storerooms

in metal shipping containers then it will be difficult to achieve the required FRL60/60/60 unless

lightweight fire rated plasterboard systems are installed to each side of the metal walls and roof

construction. This will also detract from the appearance that is being sought in this location so it is likely

that the client will want to consider deletion or modification of the fire rating requirements of the

storerooms.

This is to be assessed by the Fire Engineer as to whether a Performance Solution is available or not

given that the location of the storerooms is remote to the stadium.

5.3.3 Exit travel distance - BCA Clause D1.4

At this early stage of design it is unknown where exactly the grandstand spectator seating will be provided within the stadium and its location in relation to track design which will have an impact on total exit travel distance in accordance with BCA Clause D1.4. Open spectator stands are granted a concession for exit travel of up to 60 metres so it is likely that the proposed single tier seating modules will enable compliant exit travel for spectators.

However, given that there will be 3 x tracks and spectator safety measures provided then the current open dome area will be segregated into parts which will result in extended exit travel distance for both spectators and participants such that exit travel will likely be more than 40 metres to an exit ( ie the 60m extended exit travel does not relate to standing areas below seating) so it is recommended that within the concept fire engineering report that maximum exit travel distance is determined so that flexibility in the location and design of the stadium seating and barricades etc can be possible.

5.3.4 Exit width - BCA Clause D1.6

Based upon current concept floorplan there are 10 x exits located to the stadium. Based upon Arizon standard specifications for doors there is a width of 4 feet 4.5 inches which equates to 1.33 metres doorway. In accordance with this clause an exit may be reduced by 250mm so each exit width is increased 1.58 metres x 10 = 15.8 metres aggregate width. There are also exits back through the amenities/lobby area at the front of the building of approximately 8 metres so the total aggregate egress width is approximately 23.8 which equates to a population of 2300 in accordance with this clause.

In order to firm up populations then the following will need to be further assessed together:-

a. Doorway width options available – Are there double doors available? b. Provision of additional doorways to increase the maximum permissible population for flexibility

of future use.


of 51

If greater populations are requested then the exit width will need to increase by 0.5 metres per 50 persons.

5.3.5 Accessible wheelchair spaces - BCA Clause D3.9

Where it is proposed to have a spectator population of between 801-10,000 persons then wheelchair seating spaces are required to be provided as follows:-

16 spaces plus 1 additional space for each additional 100 seats in excess of 800 seats.

The spaces to be provided in the range of seating provided with:-

-not less than 2 single spaces

-not less than 2 groups of 2 spaces

-not more than 5 spaces in any group.

Essentially the main issue with providing equitable seating is that the allocated wheelchair spaces are not permitted to all be located at ground level. The intention is that spaces are provided at bottom and top of seating rather than being grouped at ground level.

So to address the requirements of this clause it is recommended that an intermediate ramped level is proposed in the future. Further design development will be needed for seating design.

Note: This item will be deleted from next revision once client is aware of their requirements for accessible wheelchair locations.

5.3.6 Weatherproofing of external walls - BCA Clause F1.0

As a class 9b assembly building then the Building Code of Australia (BCA2016) assumes that the building will need to resist water penetration due to damage that may occur to structure and the ability that this may cause unhealthy conditions for occupants. However, due to the unique nature of this building and its use then this building will not entirely meet the Deemed to Satisfy Provisions of the BCA2016 and will need to be assessed against the Performance Provisions of the BCA2016.

The external wall junction design has the fabric fixed to a perimeter concrete plinth which is not water resistant/waterproof and water may flow back into the building ( or be absorbed into the concrete plinth and travel through). However, it is unlikely to cause unhealthy or dangerous conditions or deterioration of building elements such that the Performance Provisions of FP1.4 are able to be met. It is recommended that a formal Performance Solution is prepared due to other non-compliances with Clause F1.4, F1.5 and F1.9, F1.10 of the BCA.

PART C2 – COMPARTMENT AND SEPARATION


Informational Noted

C2.1: Application of Part

Informational -

C2.2, C2.3 and C2.4 do not apply to a carpark provided with a sprinkler system complying with Specification E1.5, an open-deck carpark or an open spectator stand.

Noted

C2.2: General floor area and volume limitations

The floor area of the fire compartment in the building is as follows:-

-Motorcross Stadium – 8251m2 +

-Amenities – 540m2 ( Ground)

-store rooms 56m2 ( level 1)

-office - 26m2 (level 1)

Total = 8873m2

The volume of the building is unknown due to the curvature of the structure, however, the height of the structure is shown as 27 metres and based upon the area of the elevation times the length then an approximate volume of 159, 280m3 has been calculated. ( excluding amenities section)

Therefore, the building is greater than the floor area and volume limitations of this clause for a building of Type C Construction.

Noted


of 51


And as the building is greater than the floor area and volume limitations for Type A construction then it is recommended to retain the Type C Construction and assess this building as a ‘large isolated building’ in accordance with BCA Clause C2.3.

C2.3: Large isolated buildings The building is class 5,7b & 8 and exceeds 18, 000m2 &

108, 000m3 so it is required to be protected with sprinkler system complying with Specification E1.5 and have perimeter access complying with Clause C2.4(b).

It is understood that the building will not have a sprinkler system installed so will need to be considered via a Performance Solution and have fire brigade referral.


C2.4: Requirements for open spaces and vehicular access

As the building is a large isolated building then perimeter vehicle access complying with Clause (b) is needed.

This includes a vehicular driveway of not less than 6m width at not more than 18 metres distance away from the building.

Due to the topography of the land and presence of external buildings it is not proposed to have full perimeter access around the building in accordance with this clause and therefore will need to be considered by Performance Solution and will need to be referred to fire brigade.

C3.1: Application of Part

The Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of this Part do not apply to–

Control joints, weep holes and the like in

external walls of masonry construction and

joints between panels in external walls of pre-

cast concrete panel construction if, in all

cases they are not larger than necessary for

the purpose; and

Non-combustible ventilators for subfloor or

cavity ventilation, if each does not exceed 45

000 mm2 in face area and is spaced not less

than 2 m from any other ventilator in the same

wall; and

Openings in the vertical plane formed

between building elements at the

construction edge or perimeter of a balcony

or verandah, colonnade, terrace, or the like;

and

In a carpark–

(A) Service penetrations through; and (B) Openings formed by a vehicle ramp

in, A floor other than a floor that separates a part not used as a carpark, providing the connected floors comply as a single fire compartment for the purposes of all other requirements of the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of Sections C, D and E.

For the purposes of the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of this Part, openings in building elements required to be fire-resisting (including doorways, windows including any associated fanlight), infill panels and fixed or openable glazed areas that do not have the required FRL.

For the purposes of the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of this Part, openings, other than those covered under (a)(iii), between building elements such as columns, beams and the like, in the plane formed at the construction edge or perimeter of the building, are deemed to be openings in an external wall.

Noted

C3.2: Protection of openings in external walls

The building is located more than 3 metres from an allotment boundary and more than 6 metres from adjoining buildings so no protection of openings is required

N/A

C3.3: Separation of external walls and associated openings in different fire compartments

The front of house area will be sprinklered and will form a separate fire compartment to the stadium which is not sprinkler protected.

A separate Performance Solution will be prepared at Construction Certificate stage to enable drenchers to the internal separating wall and it is acknowledged at this early stage that there may also be a need to consider some sort of fire rated wall to the amenities side to protect the stadium. Such a wall is not two wall protection as



of 51


depicted in the Guide to the BCA but the use of a fire wall on one side will prevent radiant heat exposure to the stadium then this would address this problem. But if the PCA would like this addressed in the Performance Solutions then this can occur at CC stage after further design development.

The glazed doors nearby the kids outdoor play area will be a source of radiant heat to the stadium and would need to be addressed via internal wall wetting drenchers and self closing doors and further considered within the Performance Solution due to the fact that there is no fire wall separation to at least one side of the external walls.

Informational Noted

D1.1: Application of Part Noted Noted

D1.2: Number of exits required As a class 9b building at least 2 exits are required for more than 50 persons Complies

D1.3: When fire-isolated stairways and ramps are required

No Fire isolated stairs required N/A

D1.4: Exit travel distances No point on a floor must be more than 20 m from an exit, or a point from which travel in different directions to 2 exits



of 51


is available, in which case the maximum distance to one of those exits must not exceed 40 m.

Amenities & External play area

The exit travel distance to this part of the building complies.

Stadium

The exit travel distance to this part of the building complies due to the number of exits located around the perimeter. However, with design development it is likely that there will be fixed arena protection walls and barricades which will increase the exit travel distance and this will need to be assessed once the design of the moto arena’s 1/2/3 are firmed up. However, in the interim it is recommended that the maximum exit travel distance is considered within the concept fire engineering report to enable flexibility of future design.

Spectator Seating

It is proposed to have single tier grandstands in the stadium, the length of the seating tiers is such that a point of choice to alternate exits is available after 20 metres, however, an open spectator seating area is permitted to have a 60 metre exit travel distance which is likely to be achieved due to the length of the single tier being not more than 12.750 metres length from top to bottom.

D1.5: Distance between alternative exits

Exits are distributed as uniformly as practicable within or around the storey served and in positions where unobstructed access to at least 2 exits is readily available.

However, full assessment will need to be undertaken of travel distance once the track design and associated walkways and seating is completed.


D1.6: Dimensions of exits and paths of travel to exits

In a required exit or path of travel to an exit–

the unobstructed height throughout exits and paths of travel to exits must not be less than 2 m, except the unobstructed height of any doorway may be reduced to not less than 1980 mm; and

the unobstructed width of each exit or path of travel to an exit, except for doorways must be not less than 1m;

the unobstructed width of doorways must be not less than 750 mm, unless providing access for people with disabilities in which case the unobstructed width must be not less than 850 mm.

the required width of a stairway or ramp must be measured clear of all obstructions such as handrails.

the unobstructed width of a required exit must not diminish in the direction of travel to a road or open space.



of 51


Based upon current concept floorplan there are 10 x exits located to the stadium. Based upon Arizona standard specifications for doors there is a width of 4 feet 4.5 inches which equates to 1.33 metres. In accordance with this clause an exit may be reduced by 250mm so each exit width is 1.58 metres x 10 = 15.8 metres aggregate width. There are also exits back through the amenities area at the front of the building of approximately 8 metres so the total aggregate egress width is 23.8 which equates to a population of 2300 in accordance with this clause.

If greater populations are required then additional exit width would need to be provided based upon 0.5 metres = 50 persons.

D1.9: Travel by non-fire-isolated stairways or ramps

A non-fire-isolated stairway serving as a required exit must provide a continuous means of travel by its own flights and landings from every storey served to the level at which egress to a road or open space is provided.

In a Class 9 building, the distance from any point on a floor to a point of egress to a road or open space by way of a required non-fire-isolated stairway or non-fire-isolated ramp must not exceed 80m.

In a Class 9b building, a required non-fire-isolated stairway or non-fire-isolated ramp must discharge at a point not more than –

(i) 20 m from a doorway providing egress to a road or open space or from a fire-isolated passageway leading to a road or open space; or

(ii) 40 m from one of 2 such doorways or passageways if travel to each of them from the non-fire-isolated stairway or non-fire-isolated ramp is in opposite or approximately opposite directions.

Complies

D1.10: Discharge from exits

Exits must not be blocked at the point of discharge and where necessary, suitable barriers must be provided to prevent vehicles from blocking the exit.

If a required exit leads to open space, the path of travel to the road must have an unobstructed width of not less than the width of the required exits. It is unlikely that the roadway leading to Peter Brock Drive will be wide enough so it is instead considered



of 51


that there is adequate evacuation points onsite that will accommodate the maximum populations.

If an exit discharges to open space that is at a different level that the public road to which it is connected, the path of travel to the road must be by a ramp or other incline not steeper than 1:8, or a BCA compliant stairway.

The discharge points of alternative exits must be as far apart as practical
