ZeroSix Training approached Change of Plan for advice on transforming a warehouse into a CrossFit gym.
Due to the industrial nature of the surrounds, we could see a potential challenge for our client: parking.
With limited parking onsite and in the immediate area, there was a risk that Council would request an external Traffic Study. These studies are expensive and time-consuming. So, if possible, best avoided.
