SD25A/0283: Alterations to the building to facilitate the conversion of the existing Test Centre into a ''Drive - Through'' Test Centre in line with incoming RSA/CVRT regulatory policy. The alterations are mostly internal, including the re-positioning of partitions and the vehicular test equipment to facilitate the proposed 'drive - through' circulation route. Externally, there are alterations to the front facade including the removal of the glazed screen of the existing disused showroom and the insertion in that area of two new vehicular openings that will be similar to the one existing vehicular opening.
