 Hi Everyone,

 We have spoken with the architects and they have proposed some design modifications to the new classroom. The biggest changes are a simplification of the roof line, a change to the internal ceiling structure and an overall reduction in the building size. These changes should make us some significant cost savings which will begin to bring us closer to our budget. In addition there are changes to the materials that will be used and some of the detailed finishes. Once the changes have been drawn up we will pin the sketches on the notice board.

 We will be meeting with Lane Cove Council tomorrow to discuss the changes and find out how long it might take to have them approved through council. But at this stage the architects are anticipating starting on site next year. This is a delay of about 4 months – it will take completion to mid way through next year.
