Kellyville North Public School

As someone who is building in the area and looking forward to seeing my children attend this school, I am excited to see progress being made in its construction.

However, I am deeply concerned about the effects that the lack of on-site parking will have on the local streets. Given that there will be 1000 students, 40 teachers and numerous other staff, I am concerned that if the community car parks mentioned in the proposal are not used by teachers and other staff then they will park in local streets which will render local street parking unusable by local residents and their guests.

I hope that priority is given to ensuring that the community car parks are used by staff of the school.

I wish to express concern regarding the lack of proposed parking for North Kellyville Public School. At present, it would seem that there is allocation for only 12 on site car spaces. A school that is going to cater for up to 1000 students, will have approximately 70 teaching and SAS staff. If on site parking is not provided for staff then they will be forced to park in the surrounding streets which will already be congested with residents' and parents' vehicles. Whilst this is clearly a cost cutting measure on behalf of the Dept of Education, one would hope that the Dept of Planning and Environment would consider the safety of the students attending the school, as well as the effects on nearby residents of the school. It is also disappointing that a two story building has been proposed, rather than something along the lines of Ironbark Ridge Public School, which is a more appropriate layout given the residential surrounds of the school.

TREE REMOVAL there are less and less trees in Kellyville. Mostly cut down just for the purpose of new residential or public usage. We need to have a balance and to keep Kellyville a leafy suburb and protect the nature environment.Tree damage is too serious in this suburb!

I have read through the development proposal and I have two major concerns leading to my objection to the proposal. The traffic generation estimates are based on the Beaumont school travel mode surveys that is not like for like The current Hezlett Rd has major problems with traffic build up particularly since the opening of the North Kellyville shopping centre and is now a main thoroughfare to Samantha Riley Drive. It is of paramount importance that Hezlett Road be made a two lane road in both directions before any construction work commences. To this end Samantha Riley Drive widening should also be completed. before construction on the school commences. Why this aspect has not been given the necessary accelerated completion is just very bad planning to say the least.

Please view uploaded submission.

I refer to Appendix F of the above submission, and in particular the impact of the submission to Thorogood Boulevard.
The plans shown in Appendix F show an automated sliding gate at the entrance to the school from Thorogood Boulevard with no ability for residence of Thorogood Boulevard to turn at the end of the road. Thorogood Boulevard is a 2 lane street separated by a garden, this means based on the plans residents will have to reverse in and out of the street to gain access to their properties.
The street needs to have a full turning circle with full public access so that residents (and council services such as garbage trucks) can easily access properties.
