INTERNAL WALLS
Steel framed or brickwork walls are suitable for internal walls.
Ensure the following in the design and construction documentation for internal walls:
− Top course of all brickwork walls to be solid core;
− Lintel for openings in brickwork walls to be a full height brickwork course;
− If there is no masonry lintel on the top of the opening, align the top of the door or window frame with the
top of the adjacent top course of brickwork;
− Ensure that structural support is incorporated in walls where fixtures, fittings and the like are designed to
be fixed; and
− All walls to food premises are required to be of solid construction in accordance with AS4674 Design,
Construction and Fit-Out of Food Premises;
CEILING + SOFFIT
Steel framed ceiling and soffit frame either raking or level are suitable.
Ensure the following in the design and construction documentation for ceilings and soffits:
− Ensure structural support is included in the ceiling space to accommodate mechanical service loads and
the like;
− Include proprietary ceiling access panels in appropriate locations to access services and the like in the
ceiling space.
− Banana clips are not suitable to be used in a suspended ceiling system; and
− Solid set plasterboard ceilings are to be provided in all food premises. Drop-in panels, shadowline edges
and the like are not permitted in these spaces.
ROOF
Steel framed roof structure with profile metal roof sheet including all associate metal flashings, cappings
and accessories is suitable.
Ensure the following in the design and construction documentation for roofs:
− Ensure the underside of the roof lining/structure | sheet, whichever is the lower, is a minimum of 3,000
millimetres above the surface level directly below the edge of the roof;
− Design the roof structure to support renewable energy technology either now or in the future, such as
solar collection panels;
− Size the overhang of the roof to north of the building in accordance with the sun's azimuth to allow
sunlight to penetrate through openings in the building at 12 noon on 21 June, and to limit sunlight into
the building at 12 noon on 21 December;
− Incorporate the immediate use of solar panels or future installation of photovoltaic cells on the roof of the
building in the future to add to mains electrical power to the building. This includes all structural support
required. All solar systems should have a monitoring system installed that can provide real time data
and reporting of faults. System should be sized to match expected daytime load, unless provision for a
battery is also included with a target to supply at least 20% of the site's electricity demand;
− Incorporate the installation of a rainwater collection system including gutters, downpipes, a rainwater
tank and associated parts to capture water from the roof for re-use in the landscape;
− Roof accessories such as flashing and the like are to match the finish of the associated profile metal roof
