I am an owner/occupier of a unit in 33 Albion Street and have been in residence for almost 28 years, In recent times, particularly the last five years or so, I have found it increasingly difficult to find a parking space in my own street or adjacent cul-de-sac - for which I pay an annual fee - and have often had to revert to parking some distance away (e.g. Prospect Street) which is very awkward when I have shopping etc to carry. Moreover, the parents of the school's students invariably drive large vehicles and more often than not take up 1-1/2 car spaces with little or no regard for local residents. The meagre number of additional parking spaces in the proposed DA is totally inadequate and if approved will only exacerbate the parking problem for local residents. I therefore strongly object to the proposed DA as it stands.

We love to support good education for children, however there are some existing problems between school and local residents. We often can not get out my car park or could not get in to my car park because bad mannered parents parked in my drive way many times.We saw some parents parked in disabled car park area many times.Parents also stop on the pedestrian crossing which will result in a serious accident. As an adult, we all should show how to care for other people and how to behave in public to children. I read the article in the DailyTelegraph, and I was very disappointed about principal's comment. She seems totally fine with ignoring local people.She said it is a community problem,well I think it is the school problem.
I oppose totally the expansion of the school with issues such as noise,dust,noisy trucks,more cars dropping off and picking up children,construction noise,contractors parking in an already over parked area,reduced sunshine from a very tall building ,loads of screaming from excited girls especially on sports days.
As residents we already suffer from early mornings,into the afternoons,and into the evenings,with noise and car parking issues.

I completely endorse this project by St. Catherine's. Not only will it generate new jobs within the community, but will also provide an invaluable swimming centre which is sorely lacking in the Waverley community. It will not hinder traffic or cause disruptions to the community but rather provide more parking spaces. To the community members objecting this, they are only looking at the short term as opposed to the larger picture. St. Catherine's school contributes generously to the community, both in spirit and in their after care/holiday programs. To deny the school this project would be to deny the community a future of new resources.

I object to the amended 200 car space plan for St.Catherine's School because it is grossly inadequate. As a resident of Santa Marina Avenue, during the course of the School day many of our parking places are taken by Teachers and Students/Visitors to the School. St.Catherine's also run many activities during the evening which currently make it impossible for residents to park near their homes. We have a Driveway and this is often blocked whenever St.Catherine's hold events.
In closing, surely a Parking facility with a requirement of 850 to 1000 parking spaces would be more adequate for the proposed new facilities in light of how difficult it has been for residents over the last 20 years with the increased demand for parking spaces in the area.

The current proposal is unacceptable given the lack of on site parking and the already highly congested roads of Macpherson and Leichardt (which will get worse given the new child are centre being built on Macpherson St)

i support this submission wholeheartedly . it will be great for the community.

We run a creative writing school on the top floor of the Lugar Brae Church for adults and in the eight years or so we have been there parking has become a nightmare. It is just not fair to smaller businesses to have to put up with the selfish demands of schools and inconvenience the community. If they want to expand find another premises or create that car parking space.

Attention: Director, Industry, Key Sites and Social Projects

I strongly oppose the above St Catherine's School Master Plan as it's a Commercial Overdevelopment and has absolutely NO respect or consideration for the Community and the Enviroment around it.

Residents already put up with a lot of traffic-noise-pollution-loss of parking because of the school, the Master Plan will make everyone's life an ordeal, as it will make all of the above unsustainable.

More students (230+ and NO CAP on numbers), more teachers, a 500 seat Theatre with day and evening events including week-ends, an Aquatic centre open all day for 7 days and much more will bring more cars-traffic-noise-pollution, less or no parking and NO respite for residents!

How arrogant of St Catherine to propose a $63 Master Plan and not include on-site/underground car park to accomodate the hundreds of cars they'll attract with their entertainment centres. AND not even include a drive-in/drive-out for drop off and pick up and cars movement.

They're totally relying on residents to give up their parking, amenities and quality of life so that they can build their big business and make big bucks.

Please oppose this out of proportion Master Plan and hold a Public Hearing.

We strongly support the St Catherine's development proposal as it will provide the students with much needed ammenities to further their education . The swimming pool will be a wonderful facility for the school and the community as a whole
My family live in the area my wife is a St Catherine's old girl and my daughter is going into year 11 and we are very proud to have St Catherine's in the area and have always found them to be very considerate of the community and passionate about the education of our children. We strongly encourage you to support this proposal for the future education of our girls

I am opposing to this project.SSD 6339
