Please refer to attached submission which identifies issues with traffic, noise, landscaping and height of the proposal.

My family and I live in Lord St Roseville.

We object to the project in the following ways:

1. Proposal involves demolition and rezoning of a dwelling in a heritage conservation area. This changes the character of the area. There are few relatively intact conservation areas remaining in Sydney and this should be respected.
2. The proposal is of a large scale unsuited to the location. It is surrounded by single dwellings on large blocks.
3. Traffic around the school in Glencroft, Bancroft and even Lord St is already choked at key school operating times. The arterial roads around Roseville being Archibald St and Boundary St are among the most congested in Sydney.
4. Inadequate parking that should be accessed from Victoria St. More and more students, parents and staff drive to the school and park in the surrounding streets all day. Roseville should be residents only permit parking.

A public meeting should be called to allow a proper level of community input.

Yours sincerely
Bob Wheeldon

Letter of Objection attached.

Re. Application No. SSD-9912
We live in the vicinity or Roseville College and have had two daughters attend the school. We have thus watched its ongoing expansion over the past 30 years.
We understand that to remain viable the College must continue to expand and grow but we would like to comment on the current proposed development plan which in all probability will not be the last.
Our main concern is the lack of an overall traffic management plan for what is a very busy part of Roseville, especially as school drop off coincides with the peak hour commuter run to the city. Also traffic activity in the area has been compounded since Glencroft/Bancroft/Wandella are now a signposted cycleway.
We believe it's time for Roseville College to take more responsibility for the well being and safety of their students and local residents and ask that their planned development include a carriage way between Bancroft Ave. and Victoria St. on their site with a drop off/pick up zone for cars and buses. Thus we believe the considerable traffic congestion in Bancroft Ave would be considerable reduced.

My strong views are that the project should not proceed in its current proposed form. There should not be any rezoning of the area of 37 Bancroft Ave to 'Education' and the current Roseville Heritage Conservation Area should be maintained. The demolition of 37 Bancroft Ave should not be allowed to proceed. All Heritage conservation Areas should be protected into the future to retain the very important character of the area. The scope and size of the development is completely out of character with the neighbourhood and if allowed will, forever, alter the character of the neighbourhood. For a 3 storied development to be allowed is not in keeping with the current streetscape. Over the 20+ years we have lived in the area we have seen a significant increase in Bancroft Ave traffic volumes and the development will increase this even further to the detriment of all residents.

We object to:
1. Demolition of a dwelling in a Heritage Conservation area Zoned R2 and subsequent change in zoning to Education
2. The scale of bulk of the proposed development is out of character with the local area and will adversely affect the character of Roseville and in particular the Roseville Conservation Area
3. The increased noise and volume of traffic during and after construction

I would like to object to this big project. This project is not good for Roseville and Bancroft ave.
I object because:
1) The traffic and noise already is too much. If this project proceeds, it will create more noise and more traffic during the construction and post construction.
2) The project is too big, the development is not good for Roseville, it will be an eye sore and is out of character with the local Roseville leafy suburb . It will destroy the beauty of Roseville in particular Bancroft Ave.
3) Destroying a dwelling within a Heritage Conservation area is not good for future conservation of the area.

I am a parent of a daughter who attends Roseville College. My daughter has many years of education ahead of her and we are very excited about the proposed New Sport and Wellbeing Centre. My daughter loves cooking, tennis and swimming!

Currently Roseville College has a very old outdoor pool, which clearly limits the amount of swimming the students can do during the year, with the pool only being used during Term 1 and Term 4. My daughter only does swimming lessons during those terms and misses out the rest of the year. With the proposed new indoor pool, the students will be able to learn to swim and train for fitness all year round! In addition, the current outdoor pool does not have a roof for parents to watch swimming lessons if it rains, and this caused major issues recently with the current Sydney stormy weather....with all of the parents huddling into a tiny corner of the pool area. The facilities are in major need of improvement.

Roseville College is in need of extra facilities to expand and enhance the current student offering, being a premium local private girls school. I have seen other schools like Ravenswood School for Girls expand their building footprint and it is not fair to hold other schools back.

I think what is proposed is relevant, reasonable and in keeping with continuous improvement of the school offering. As a local resident and parent of a child attending Roseville College, I would like to see this submission approved so Roseville College can move forward with this important project. I have every confidence that the project will be run with respect to the neighbouring residents and local community. Roseville College has maintained their current grounds to an absolutely impeccable standard, over the many years, and I have confidence that this new centre will be designed to complement the current school grounds and local environment.

For children to be able to enjoy extra-curricular activities and sport all year round in current technology / premium facilities is such a special and important part of their education and improves their health. A new pool, gym, food technology and sports courts will facilitate this. I encourage you to approve this submission and let the school invest in the future of our young girls education. Thank you for your time.
