  • A Whole of Life assessment is to be considered in the selection of fixtures to ensure that the selected fixtures provide:
    • Value for Money
    • Fit for purpose
    • Long term durability
    • Minimal maintenance requirements
    • Low maintenance costs
  • All furniture and fixtures are to meet the requirements of relevant Standards (AS/NZS 4610.3:1999);

Variations

  • Variations to the nominated fixtures may be necessary in particular designs due to planning considerations.
