I am writing to support an OBJECTION to the development of the Abercrombie Precinct by the University of Sydney in its current format, as per the attached letter from Darlington Public School.
My daughter is in Yr 1 at the school and will be attending during the majority of the works that will take place.
As is highlighted in the submission by the school, the current actions to be taken by the University are unacceptable and need to be rectified and agreed upon prior to the building works starting.
The school is offering a number of solutions to potential problems which suit the needs of both parties and should be considered carefully!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my objection.
Regards
Pip

Attached is an outline of serious concerns with the impact of this development on the health and safety of children at Darlington Public School. The Minister for Planning has a duty of care to this particularly vulnerable population. The Minister for Planning is required to ensure that this development does not destroy a school community and children’s lives (causing long-term health problems), when with an appropriate design and controls the development and school can exist side by side.

Please see attached letter. I am particularly concerned that the USYD continues to expand to the detriment of the residential and public areas surrounding it. Surely the USYD is big enough by now, or at least can utilise the acreage on the western side of City Road rather than continue to crowd out the easteern side and Abercrombie Street area.

I strongly urge that you reject this development proposal, which will have severe impacts on the entire school body over a long period of time. For some children, almost their entire schooling will be affected by severe construction noise and the risks posed by demolition debris. Our children only have one chance to receive an education. Please ensure that they are given the best opportunity to do so by rejecting this proposal.
