Hello.

We're currently involved in bringing a hall up to standard as a performance venue. Does anyone know where I could get a copy of the Public Halls Act or the Building Code for public venues.

I think thats what I need?!?

Something that can tell me things like how many exits are needed? what sort of fire protection is needed? how many extinguishers? how many bathrooms? things like that.

Oh, We're in Victoria (I don't know if it's state or federal requirements).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Tom,
If you call the building control commission in Victoria they may be able to help, or realistically your local engineer should have all those details.
The building control commissions number is (03) 9285-6418

If you need any of this sort of info just give me a holler.

Regards

robyn
