PORTER PREFABRICATED IRON STORE METHODOLOGY Ths methodology is intended to be a general outine only. A detaled methodology will be prepared folowing the engagement of asutable contractor for the works DISMANTLING Development Victoria have incited tat the Porter Prefabricated Iron Store is required to be removed from its curent ste by the 30th April 2018.

PORTER PREFABRICATED IRON STORE IMPACT ASSESSMENT & CONCLUSION CONDITION & CONSERVATION WORKS ‘While the Store remains in fair condition overal it in need of conservation works andthe works represent an opporturity te net only Undertake the works required but to improve the overall condition, and fully decument and record the building, The conservation works ‘outlined in ths Cocument focus on repairing the galvanised iron sheets and structure, with the ain of alin further rus ingress and degradation of historic fabri. The works, in accordance withthe Burra Charter, seek to do as much as necessary to preserve the exiting fabric, but as itl as possible. In general the bulding generally should be treated for rust and deteriorated timbers and repainted which wil improve its protection and Ifespan. Where deterioration is severe, sheets may require total replacement. Should ths be necessary, the works are to be undertaken on athe for lke’ bass, ensuring the proposal accords with Burra Charter principles, Likewise, where corroded elements are discovered curing the dsmanting ofthe structure, these willbe recorded, repaired where possible or re-fabricated ona ike fr lik’ basis with al cetas and materials to match ewsting, a8 condition perrits. The works azo seek to reconstruct the orginal south wal of the structure to secure the building and return it to an earler known condition, Where replacement materals are required and cannot be sourced from 2 Supplier a pattem for the casting of incvidual components should be created to fabricate the missing elements, The proposed conservation ‘works overall represent 2 major benefkial impact tothe structure, repairing and corserving it, as well as reconstructing the south wall to return {to an eavier known state RELOCATION OF THE STORE ‘The proposed relocation ofthe Store, in and of tse, will not have a detrimental impact onthe building abr and overal wll not adversely impact ts cultural heritage signieance. The Store has no known association with its current sie. and thus, relocation wil not impacts historical or architectural significance or assocations, Further, relocation allows forthe systematic documentation ef the structure and for all required conservation works to take place in conjunction wit ts relocation. Again, ths is considered beneficial tothe cultural hestage significance of te place, ensuing the fabric remain in good condition and enabing is longterm future asa storage shed. In terms ofthe physical impacts of dsmanting and re-erectng the structure itis noted tha t's a prefabricated buldng, designed to be \ransported and erected as component parts. To ensure damage to the structure ofthe building i limited, it wll be reviewed by an eninge ‘0 understand in greater depth the crucial load points ofthe buiding, and to manage its cngoing integrity throughout the process In section, and to further mitigate any the potential impact. an experienced cortractor (in discussion with Heritage Victoria) wil be engaged to uncertake ‘the works ensuring thatthe required expertise i avaiable forthe duration ofthe project It is proposed that a detailed methodology forthe
