5. MASTER PLAN
5.1 Restoration Period The period of restoration for Kanangra will be 1959 post diesel conversion refit.
5.2 Vessel Utilisation Concepts
5.2.1 The KRC continued discussion on vessel utilisation concepts. The focus for this meeting surrounded the Commercial / In Survey proposal:
- Survey we will ask for is 1E with a 1.5m swell height exemption.
- A naval architect will need to be brought into the project once the vessel is on the Heritage Dock.
- Tony Blakelock should be consulted regarding survey possibilities and requirements.
- The number of toilets required was discussed. If the cruise is for longer than 30min, one toilet is required for every 50 passengers.
- Watertight compartments will we be required to modify or are there exemptions available?
5.2.2 Further discussion was had as to possible alongside activities which Kanangra could be suitable.
These included:
- Function Centre Weddings / Social / Corporate.
- Meetings (Corporate).
- Corporate Training Venue.
- Trade Show display venue.
- Static museum display room.
It was agreed by the KRC that the option for Kanangra to be restored as a museum exhibit / not in survey was not desirable.
6. HISTORICAL INTEGRITY
6.1 Crew Mess Room Main Deck, midships, stbd side - ONGOING
6.2 Ladies Saloon Main Deck, aft - Discussion was had as to the future of the Ladies Saloon in regards to historical issues:
- KRC members agreed that the Bulkhead that was installed by the SMM in 1987 to create a mess facility for members when the vessel was on display in Cockle Bay should be retained.
- The area that was created when this bulkhead was installed would be perfect for a galley facility.
- The bulkhead also creates a private corridor to the Ladies toilets.
- The galley should be a heat & serve facility, not a fully equipped facility as this would require greater compliance with modern day regulations which could see aspects of the vessels historic fabric needing to be modified.
6.3 Ladies Toilets Discussion was had as to the fact that only minor modification would be required to provide disabled access to the Ladies toilet facilities.
6.4 Gentlemans Saloon Main deck ford. The KRC members agreed that this area should be restored to its former 1959 glory including retention of the ferry seating etc.
