While I am supporting the creation of better educational facilities, the bulk and size of the proposed development are a major concern due to significant negative impact on the living environment of the neighbourhood. Major concerns require development planning consideration prior to granting approval to proceed include (1) how to manage and minimise the heavy traffic around the Cassins Avenue, West Street, Ridge Street neighbourhood during the morning drop off and afternoon pickup hours; (2) how to minimize impact of construction noise; (3) how to preserve and enhance the greenery currently in the neighbourhood.

Construction Noise:
Please note during the recent school development works, construction was undertaken on Saturdays and Sundays starting from 7:00 am, and sometimes even earlier with the trades cars making noise in at early morning with their radio noise on and occasionally shouting.
You may agree that for a person working full time during the week, this is not a pleasant way of starting the weekend.
I highly disagree with any type of construction works on weekends.
Traffic and Parking:
two issues with the traffic:
1- construction trades shouldn't be allowed to park on the adjacent streets and Lanes and specifically block the Cassins Avenue for parking use or delivery purposes. this issue repeatedly happened during the recent development.
2- Redirecting school drop-off points and actively using Carlow Street, will add to the current traffic disaster in this street during school drop-off times. even without this proposed change sometimes we get stocked in drop-off traffic in Carlow Street for 15-20 minutes just to be able to exit/enter Cassins Lane.
