This can become a good economical point as this is designed to accommodate 500 people per day and
the area will be developed, and it could also be an added advantage to the residents and this amusement
park is also designed to have people of all range of ages. As there are farriers wheel, pool, water slides
and adventure River which can be used by adults and children, theme park and rail way is dedicated for
children and this. The proposed is under Kaduwela MC Region, Kaduwela Mc situated in western
province in Colombo district and 17.5 Km away from Colombo city. It is junction settlement developed
gradually connecting Colombo-Awissawella Main road and Kotte-Gampaha Road there is good
relationship between other area situated surrounding, such as Colombo, Kotte, Kolonawa, Maharagama,
Homagama, Kasbawa, Biyagama, Gampaha, Kandy

3. Alternative analysis
We were provided with three lands by the client to be chosen according to the suitability of the project.
Lands were in Western province in kaduwela area under the kaduwela Municipal Council. To check the
suitability of the land technical, environmental, legal, financial, marketing and socioeconomics feasibility
is done
Figure 1: location A
Road network
There is a road way to the location but it is not wide enough to pass two vehicles parallel at a time
(not wide enough to be used as two way). So it can occur traffic. And at the construction phase it
would cause a difficulty for the heavy vehicles to travel extending the construction time as there
is a significant distance from the main road to the site and widening of the roads are not feasible
due to the residents.
Surface ground is almost flat without steep slopes, cutting and filling is minimum. Therefore,
construction cost can be reduced. As machine hours reduce and also the material cost also reduce
as no materials have to be imported to the site due to the pattern of elevation as the sides are more
3
elevated than in the centre cut and fill may be equal but the quality of the soil may be a not
acceptable.
Flood analysis
Centre of the land is a valley which is connected to Kalani River, so floods are prone in this site
when there is a heavy rain.
Soil Quality
Quality of soil may be variable throughout the area and the water table is close to the surface and
it was conformed as a well was there in the site
No space for future development as there are residents around the location and the cost of
expansion would be much high.
Figure 3: location C
Road network
Road leading to the land is narrow but there is ability to expansion of the road is possible as there
were some bear land on one side of the road. There is a road way where, vehicles can enter the
location and another separate path way as the exit. During construction temporary road can be built
to reduce the construction time.
4
Cutting and Filling
Surface ground is naturally contains very steep slopes. Cutting and filling is done to balance the
excavated soil. Therefore additional soil cost can be reduced. Steep slopes can be easily integrated
in the construction such water slides.
Soil Quality
There is a paddy fields in the adjacent land which tells us that the soil may be weak at that boundary
of the land, so soil investigation may be needed at the boundary but by the current buildings we
can assume that the soil is adequately suitable enough.
Future development
There is enough space for future expansion as there is a paddy field in rear which can be used for
future development.
Figure 4: location K
Road network
There is a road way where, employer can enter the location and move them around the location
but, connects to the entering path where the exit is. It can occur traffic as that road is not wide
enough to pass two vehicles parallel at a time (not wide enough to be used as two way). During
the construction phase it may be necessary to widen the roads.
Since the available surface ground is naturally contains very steep slopes. But cutting and filling
is cannot done to balance the excavated soil. Therefore construction cost will be increase. Slopes
can be integrated to the construction.
5
Arrangement of Buildings
The arrangement of buildings according to the amusement park, land area of location K is not
enough.
Future development
In this land there is a possibility for construction of the water park at a section of the land and later
developing the rest of the land.
There are no animals and plants unique to the environment. There are few trees situated in the area,
so deforestation won’t be a much effect to environment.
Water
Water table is also situated near to the ground surface, so contamination of ground water is more
likely. Partially mashie land therefore more investigation should be done before making any
structure
3.2.2 Location C
Flora and Fauna
Is a land with no unique trees or animals in the area but there are large number of trees situated in
the area where deforestation will be an issue.
Water
Paddy field adjacent to the park would be a problem as runoffs tend to move to that direction due
to the elevation and many soils may be weak as It also can have a higher organic content.
Dust
Density of houses is very small so that demolition would not cause a large effect to the environment
due to the dust
6
3.2.3 Location K
Flora and Fauna
This site had lot of plants but non-was unique and there were no unique animals in the area. But
there were high number of trees therefor which will cause a deforestation issue. During the site
visit and investigation, it was noted that there were a community of monkeys around the area and
there is a potential of attacks or damage to the property by them during operation
Dust
There were houses around which will have to be demolished which could create a massive dust
and will harm the environment.
Water
There was a minor natural stream which tells us that the water table is near the ground surface so
there will be a vulnerability in contamination.
For the construction of a single or two story building with a total floor area not more than
280 square meters (3000 square ft. ) and whose walls or columns are not situated on the
boundary of the property and the construction involve pile or raft foundation.
The authority may give preliminary planning clearance prior to the formal approval plans.
All existing contours or spot levels of the site and of adjoin roads and lands with slopes
steeper than 45 degree and exceeding in half meters (1.5m) in height being clearly
indicated.
Prior to issuing a permit, if the authority feels that the proposed development activity may
course an adverse impact upon the environment, the views of the public may be obtain
upon the display of a notice board at the site for a period of 30days, indicating “Nature of
proposed development its volume, and period of construction”, after consideration such
7
views of the public, authority may direct to alter development or impose conditions from
issuing permit.
To incorporate the design as per the requirements of the local authorities, design standards such as
the City of Colombo Development Plan- 2008 and Planning and Building Regulations - 2005
released by the Urban Development Authority Kaduwela and have been put into consideration.
In Srilanka there is only limited number of amusement parks which are at larger scale and very
few of water related. Climate of the Sri Lanka is also an added advantage to a water related
amusement park as it is mostly warm. Currently the amusement parks are serving at their peak as
there are only limited number of amusement parks. Amusement parks have a great potential in
Srilanka.
LEGO amusement park has a good potential as for the Thesis of D.K.D.A.Ranawera on Changing
Pattern of Land Use in Kaduwela Municipal Council in Sri Lanka it shows that the urbanization is
maximum in western province which indicates that there will be many customers for the
amusement park. This also can be a tourist’s attraction center and the growth of the tourism
industry also can boost the customer base of the amusement park. As for the information there
won’t be a shortage in customers for the amusement park as it is situated in the western province
and near to Colombo.

3.5 Financial feasibility study
Financial feasibility which is a vital part of the feasibility assessment, can be determined using
several techniques such as net present value, payback period, and internal rate of return, cost
benefit ratio etc. Here net present value, payback period and internal rate of return techniques are
used to determine the most financially feasible alternative.
Net present value is a most frequently used technique to analyse the financial feasibility. Net
present value incorporates receipts and payments over the entire design period of the project.
Payback period is determined at a minimum rate of return to estimate the minimum period required
to cover up the investment on the project. It only includes the receipts and payments up to payback
period. It ignores the cash flows after the payback period. Internal rate of return (IRR), the rate at
which net present value of the project is zero is also estimated to analyse the feasibility.
Construction cost is estimated considering construction period is one and a half years. Details of
the estimated cost for the alternatives are attached below.
During the operation stage of the project several payments should be made. Therefore
this maintenance and operation cost of the project should be estimated. Operational cost per year
is estimated including expenses on salaries for permanent staff and Subcontractors, utilities,
equipment, vehicle maintenance etc. Maintenance cost was calculated for one year.

Description Cost per year (LKR)
Staff Salary 6.2 million
3.5.3 Revenue
Sources of revenue for the LEGO amusement park are ticket fees, renting restaurants, renting
stalls and providing amusement park for external party.
Ticket fees
Ticket fee offered in three alternatives differ slightly as shown below. In calculations,
several assumptions are made regarding to find revenue for year.
Entrance ticket Rs.200/=
Supreme Package Rs.2500/=
Package A Rs.1750/=
Package B Rs.850/=
Table 4 :ticket packages
Assumptions,
Expected population in weekdays= 250 Expected population in weekend =500
100 tickets for Supreme Package 200 tickets for Supreme Package
50 tickets for Package A 150 tickets for Package A
50 tickets for Package B 100 tickets for Package B
50 ticket for Entrance 50 tickets for Entrance
Entrance free for package holders.
Monthly revenue for weekdays = [(100×2500) + (50×1750) + (50×850) + (50×200)] × 22
= 8.58 million
10
Monthly revenue for weekend = [(200×2500) + (150×1750) + (100×850) + (50×200)] × 8
= 6.86 million
Renting stalls : 7000 for month for each stalls ,for 10 stalls [(10 x 7000 x 12=0.84million)
According to above results obtained from short term feasibility study, land area at location C is
more feasible when comparing other locations.

5. Sustainable concept adapted in this project
Amusement park development plan is a project which has several buildings to serve these
requirements. The design of the project was done by including many sustainable features to
ensure to provide security, aesthetically pleasing appearance, disaster resistance, a durable and
long lasting facility with the mind of social and environmental factors which can be affected. To
provide a proper measurement about the sustainable features adopted in the project, it was
decided to follow the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system.

5.2 Reduce water usage by use of water saving fixtures Ultra Low Consumption Urinals
6. Conclusion
Land at location C was selected because it was in adequate size compare two other lands and when
comparing the price initial cost of land C is much greater then land A but also cheaper than the
land K when comparing the distance from the main road land C was closest to the main road which
is the Kaduwela Colombo road. According to environmental feasibility land C had lesser negative
environmental impact. During construction the impact is less as the population density is lower
and land adjacent is bare this factor is important if the structures need shallow foundations as for
the following reasons land C was selected.

Building Regulations
When design a building or an amusement park like this project in Sri Lanka, should be follow the Sri
Lankan building regulations. This book illustrates the Planning and Building Regulations of the Urban
Development Authority published in the Gazette of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka,
Extraordinary No. 392/9 under the section 8 of Urban Development Authority Law No 41 of 1978.
These some of those regulations are the that we followed when we developed LEGO amusement park
Buildings other than public assembly and public building (max. 4 floors) = 150m 2
More than 5 floor buildings and high rise buildings = 1000m 2
Buildings other than public assembly and public building (max. 4 floors) = 6m
Car park space for slots are allocated as fallows under Regulation 31(2) & section 3 (b) (7) of schedule iii of
planning and building regulations for the year 2008 – 2022 by Urban Development Authority. To move the
vehicles allocated space is 7.2m. To allocate the vehicles to move freely in both ways in and out. According to
the regulation 31(3) &Form F of schedule iii. Of planning and building regulations for the year 2008 – 2022 by
Urban Development Authority
