Space for Service Providers
Spaces for Service Providers are areas that will be leased by organisations providing a service to the
local community. These areas can be either:
1. stand alone as an independent building or spaces classified as medium profile amongst Camden
Council's built assets;
OR
2. inserted in a public building classified as very high profile amongst Camden Council's built assets.
The most important consideration when it comes to a Space for Service Providers, is its location.
Spaces for Services Providers are required to be located in a place with the following conditions:
− Within walking distance to public transport;
− Within walking distance to local commonly used retail outlets such as supermarkets, hairdressers,
newsagents or the like; and
− Within walking distance or co-located with other commonly used community facilities, such as a library,
school or the like.
If you categorised a Space for Service Providers into three sizes they would include the following:
SMALL
Includes all Spaces described in this manual.
MEDIUM
Includes all Spaces described for a small scale, as well as larger dimensions for the Entry
Space, Work Space and meeting spaces and additional toilets.
LARGE
Includes all Spaces described for a medium scale, as well as larger dimensions for the covered
Forecourt and entry space, multiple spaces for the work space and meeting spaces, a
greeting desk within the entry space, a cafe and additional toilets that include shower facilities.
STANDARD REQUIREMENTS
This document includes a set of standard requirements to be incorporated into the design and
construction of Spaces for Service Providers buildings within the Camden LGA.
Any variations to the requirements set out in this document are to be approved by Camden Council prior
to incorporation in documentation for each building.
IMPORTANT NOTES
A Space for Service Providers is a place that will be accessed by members of the public who may not
wish to be seen accessing the service. Consideration should therefore be given to how people will
discreetly access the spaces. As such, a Space for Service Providers should be:
- located at ground level; and
- co-located or located near an alternative community use facility
The objective of this document is to ensure that the building is suitable for long-term use by all
members of the public.
