I object to this development of North Curl Curl Public School as
The Northern Beaches council has no jurisdiction
over working hours nor can they enforce compliance to this development
,so who is responsible??
from the early stages of soil testing , they decided to do it on a
Sunday and this behavior from the government departments and
contractors won't change ,again no consideration for residents, and
now the proposal is to increase working hours , by justifying
sports courts across the road make a noice , so they what to increase
it even more. Let's remind the people who want increase working hours
on this construction site
that not only pupils teachers are effected so are residents that are
retired or are on night shifts or ordinary hard workers that might
just want that little peace and quiet when they return home ,it's ok
for students and teachers they can can go home away from the school
noise while residents will bear it from 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday
and all day Saturday.Just because sports courts make a noice and are
used for winter sports mainly ,so how does the increase in work hours
relate to
a winter sport only or is that just another excuse to work when ever
on this project .
This project got off to bad start from the beginning when the PC
committee , Education department, refused to even acknowledge there
are residents backing on to the school and across the road and had
meetings behind closed doors.
I for one will be taking it to the the environmental court if work
hours are increased on this project .

Below is quoted from the response from the architects from the first
design feed back to justify this new design .

Potential noise impacts on neighbours have been addressed by locating
teaching spaces along
the eastern boundary, and the hall (with its noisier uses such as
performances and rehearsals) on Playfair Road , how does the designers
justify this new proposal design have the house moved from Playfair
Road .
As for the traffic management system of directing trucks in and out of
Playfair Road , this is just madness, here we have stage one in the
south of the School yard with clear access from Abbott Road and the
development traffic plan is to direct all truck movements through
Playfair Road through a small corridor between an existing building
and the new one to be built and out again on Playfair Road , not only
is this a dangerous decision to place children's life at risk , as
this road (Playfair)will be the main entry and exist for the School
until stage 1 is complete , then we also have the truck noise
disturbing class rooms and residents across the street .
This project should not proceed until the northern beaches completes a
traffic management report which should include proposal for pedestrian
crossing locations, parking restrictions , loading zones , bus zone
locations whether it be better in Playfair or Abbott which could all
have an impact on the residents opinion of the project.
The other statement that address residents privacy
In the north and east by planting tall trees what about residents on
the Playfair road side, how come their privacy isn't addressed , in
this new design.

I am a local resident and in the school catchment zone for North Curl
Curl PS. I know the previous plans and design for the new building
works had incorporated many features including retaining as much play
space as possible. I would like to know how much play space is lost or
gained due to the new design? The Manly Daily reported a loss of play
space. Given the school has over 900 students who all want to play
games, soccer, balls games etc it is important they have the best
opportunities to be active in their breaks so they can concentrate in
class and develop key physical skills to take into an active and
healthy adulthood. I am aware there are fields across the road from
the school to use for more space but transporting students out of
grounds is not always an easy option and how much better for them to
have the ease of adequate space at their classroom door step. There
are so many factors to consider in every school redesign and I have no
doubt that securing a great play space for the children that fulfills
Education Department Policy on the amount of play space that is
required per student in a school is high on the agenda.

I object to certain parts of the this development
