Bunbury Administration Building Visual Story

This area includes two main entrances to a multi-storey building, located on Prinsep Street and Stephen Street in Bunbury. The building features modern architecture with glass and metal panels, alongside an older brick structure. Ground surfaces vary, including red and grey brick paving, concrete tiles, and asphalt roads. There is one accessible car parking space on Prinsep Street with step-free access to the building. Pathways are wide and mostly step-free, with tactile paving and handrails near stairs. Shade is limited to trees and a wooden canopy at the Stephen Street entrance.

Surrounding boundaries include low brick walls and garden beds with shrubs and trees. The space functions as an arrival and access zone for visitors and staff. Activity levels may increase during business hours with vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Sounds include cars, buses, gravel underfoot, and occasional conversation. The area is exposed to outdoor weather with limited shade in parking zones. Visitors may use the pathways to enter the building or access nearby green spaces with benches and picnic tables. The environment includes visual cues such as signage for entrances and parking restrictions.

This council building entrance features a modern design with extensive use of glass, steel, and tiled flooring. The exterior pathway is paved with stone tiles and leads to automatic glass sliding doors. Inside, the space is three storeys high with large glass windows allowing natural light. The floor is tiled, creating a reflective surface that contributes to echo and background noise.

There is a large art installation consisting of five tall pillars from floor to ceiling. There are also leather couches, and a children's table with colourful chairs and reading books. On the right is a ramp with carpet tiles and handrails as well as stairs with handrails provide access to the council chambers and the Mayors office. Reception counters for customer service and planning enquiries are directly ahead, with queue barriers and chairs for waiting. 

The main entrance is accessed via a central courtyard with flat, step-free paved pathways. A white steel shade structure covers the entry, which features automatic glass sliding doors framed by dark glass panels. Inside, the waiting foyer has carpeted floors with a patterned design and polished stone borders.

Seating includes couches and armchairs arranged around a central black round table. The foyer connects to a hallway with handrails leading to the council chambers and accessible bathroom. The council chambers are semi-circular with wooden desks and black chairs, equipped with microphones and audiovisual screens. The accessible bathroom has tiled walls, grab rails, and a small sink.
