The new high school in Bungendore is needed. With the growth of Bungendore and the additional recent land release it is necessary to have a high school centrally located so that students don't require a 30+ minute bus ride to and from school. Improving access to education should be seen by the community as a major positive.
The proposed structure and address are ideal. The central location is completely appropriate and will be accessible from all sides of the village. The use of the park after school hours and on weekends is appropriate (though not completely necessary with the proposed sports hub on the other side of town).
The links between the primary and high school are good and the proposed upgrades to the primary school and library are welcomed. The upgraded community centre is needed, the current facilities are dated, cold and inadequate.
The design of the school is wonderful and modern. Repurposing the council chambers is excellent. This building is fairly redundant since the council amalgamation, a front face for the council could be housed in a much smaller building.
The social impact statement seems accurate, some short term negative aspects in relation to access to facilities, which is reduced over time.
I anticipate that the construction will cause inconvenience while it occurs and there will be an adjustment for the community in relation to facility access and road changes, however the access to education in the local region outweighs these inconveniences in my eyes.
Combined with the new children's park and the sports hub, these works ensure that residents of Bungendore can centre their lives around the local area.

The high school for Bungendore is desperately needed and cannot be delayed any further. This current proposal has more benefits for the community than it has negatives. As a parent of children who require this facility, I support this proposal and ask that it be considered favourably to proceed as planned.

I object to the location of the new Bungendore High School as I am concerned about room for future growth, poor traffic flow and the impact to the Town’s heritage park. Losing the Mick Sherd oval for freely accessible community use would negatively impact on all residents. Our town deserves a new high school, but not at the detriment of our existing oval and park space. Once it’s gone, we can’t get it back.

My family and I support the build of a High School in Bungendore, in its proposed location. Bungendore is a growing town, with a large catchment area and school choices are limited as we are no longer able to send children to Canberra for Public Schooling. The proposed location of the high school makes sense as an education precinct in town, and will not detract from any town amenities. Having the choice to send children to school locally will also help many families cut down commute times and gain a better quality of life.

I fully support the project in its current form. I wish to alert the planners to the undermining misinformation attempts that occur regularly on facebook within Bungendore, the pooling of money that has gone on within this group to purchase ads on facebook and to otherwise sway public opinion on this matter. Everyone I have spoken to without exception is in support of this plan. Please do not be swayed by a group of small minded individuals who appear to have swayed a large portion of the elderly population. You are doing a great job. Keep it up.

I OBJECT on the following grounds
1 the site is too small
2 it will cause traffic congestion on Turallo Terrace and Gibraltar Street
3 contamination of lead 30 metres from site
4 destroy the look of the town
5 cause the Bungendore Park to be off limits for most of the day
