| Temporary market View From Franklin St. |
The Planning Application for
the temporary market pavilion has been released online and contains some interesting
details.
The pavilion will dominate Queen St. extending almost the entire length from Franklin St. to Victoria St.
The new two-storey,
greenhouse-inspired design, will include an open air trading hall on the ground
level and a market garden on the upper level.
The market garden will
produce 200 metric tonnes of fresh produce annually
The design includes a
biodigester that can convert 2 tonnes of fruit and vegetable waste per day.
A dehydration unit will
convert fish offal to compost.
These waste treatment units
will create fertiliser for use within the greenhouse and water for toilet
flushing.
Ceiling and wall-mounted fans
for cooling and electric infrared radiant heaters for heating will be provided.
LED lighting and a daylight
lighting control system to reduce energy consumption are part of the planning.
Mobile cool-rooms will be
placed along the eastern edge of the current car park.
The Queen St. car park
entrance will be removed.
The current toilet block on Queen St. will be removed and temporary facilities provided.
The current mature Plane
Trees bordering the car park and on the median strip separating the bus parking
area will be retained as part of the greenhouse design.
