The proposed school and its size with result in a loss of animal habitat. I am also gravely concerned with the infrastructure of the area, with a school of this size, the area does not have infrastructure to cater for a dramatic increase in cars, buses and so forth. This will have an impact on the local community.

I wish to object the the new school proposed at Charmhaven on the following grounds:

▪️This land contains the last haemastoma scribbly gum forest in the shire

◾️The threatened Angophora Inopina

▪️Critically endangered
orchids
Swift Parrots
Regent Honeyeaters
Both observed on site

◾️This land is the only haemastoma inopina bloodwood forest in the world.

▪️Home to many endangered species genoplesium insignis
Corunastylis Branwhiteorum.
It contains the largest concentration of genoplesium rupuii (a rare plant) in the shire.

▪️This area is the last major green forest area in Charmhaven.
It lies between Chelmsford road and Wallarah creek. Platypuses have been seen in Wallarah creek.

▪️Sea eagles roost in there

▪️If rezoning is allowed for this school, then there is an adjoining 100 acre property waiting on the rezoning so that they can put in houses.

▪️Additionally, a new school in Charmhaven would lead to increased traffic volumes on Pacific Highway, and Sparks Road.

▪️The dale school part that’s is proposed is nonsensical being that the school will be located right next to an emergency helipad - noise from regular use of the refuelling and training depot is not a suitable environment for dale schools.

Thank you and I look forward to your response.

This is some of the last bushland in the Charmhaven area and contains many threatened species and is a critically endangered Swift Parrot habitat. It should be preserved for future generations, not razed for a private school that could go somewhere else.

This development will create too much traffic in an already contested area. There are also several species of flora and Gina in the area that will be displaced or irradiated.

If the project is approved, significant upgrades to local infrastructure will be required including the round-a-bout at Pacific Hwy/Lake Haven Dr changed to lights. A couple of safe pedestrian crossing points implemented along the Pacific Hwy through Lake Haven and Charmhaven. Implementation of footpaths where missing in the local area to accomodate students riding their bikes etc to school.
Bus shelters installed throughout the catchment area for the school to ensure students have weather protection when catching the bus to school.
Public Address system/School Bells/Outdoor Music systems to have rules in place from the beginning of the school to ensure no impact on existing local residents in Charmhaven/Lakehaven.
Car parking requirements should include student parking when the school reaches Yr 11 and Yr 12 students to ensure no impact on parking in local area by a large significant senior student cohort.

I object to the proposed development of the St Phillips Christian College at Arizona Rd Charmhaven. It harbours remnant bushland that would date back to pre colonial Australia. It also supports a huge amount of critically endangered and vulnerable flora and
fauna; I.e. Corunastylis insignis, Corunastylis sp. charmhaven, swift parrot and charmhaven apple. It is of our upmost importance to protect this lands from being developed on as these plants and animals hold an intrinsic value to humans and must be preserved for future generations, human or not to enjoy.

The modern Christian should not have to look to far to see the glory that god has created in this area. How can this be seen as an act of faith by clearing out the last remaining populations of species Australia needs.
