Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback regarding the State Significant Development Application for Hawkesbury Centre of Excellence Educational Facility.
We are supportive of the proposed development.
The Hobartville / Richmond section of Londonderry Road is currently a main road and will feed traffic onto / absorb traffic from the Hawkesbury Centre of Excellence.
The Hobartville / Richmond section of Londonderry Road includes single and multi-dwelling housing on the western side of the road with Western Sydney University on the eastern side of the road.
In addition to the road traffic, there is also a high-volume of foot traffic (i.e. people walking) from the many university students and residents who use the Londonderry Road as a pedestrian route into Richmond town centre, we expect this to foot traffic to increase given the development of the Hawkesbury Centre of Excellence. The current situation is very unsafe as students often walk on the road and without a footpath I fear that younger school students will be at a even greater risk of injury or death from collision with traffic.
The Hobartville / Richmond section of Londonderry Road has drainage issues and often localised flooding on either side of the road following heavy rain.
As part of the SSD Centre of Excellence in Agricultural Education development, we would like to make the following suggestions for improvements to the Hobartville/Richmond section of Londonderry Road:
1) Installation of kerb and gutter.
2) Installation of footpath.
3) Installation of drainage.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss our recommendations further. Please feel free to contact us if we can provide any further information or clarification.
Kind Regards
Nathan and Michelle Rose
