I am a student at the University of Technology, Sydney studying the Bachelor of Architecture. The assessment is based on this site and it would be great if we could see the drawings of the buildings. Thank you for your time and I anticipate to hear from you shortly.

I have no problem demolishing the 1969 section of the building. However I am concerned about the construction of a 13 story tower block as this is far in excess of the size of tower blocks for the area and am concerned about the aesthetic impact of such a block, particularly next to a high significance heritage building.

Secondly, I am also concerned about the traffic effects on Cleveland / Chalmers Streets given these are already highly congested.

Thirdly what will be impact to the Prince Alfred Park? It is a fabulous park enjoyed by local people and having an extra 1,200 students spill out onto the park for recreation and other purposes sounds like it will significantly reduce the pleasure and enjoyment of this space.

I live only one block away from the site so I am very in tune with these impacts. I would prefer a more modest plan fitting with the character of the area, traffic issues and use of public park space; if this cannot be achieved then I object to the plan in its current form.

The proposed 13 storey tower is a gross over development of a busy and sensitive site.

The site currently houses a small school that does not have any adverse impact on traffic, or the amenity of residents. The proposed site seeks to bring a large influx of students and by proxy their parents, to what is already a very busy vehicular area. The added mass will cause no end of traffic disruption and may well make it difficult to ensure the safety of pedestrian and students without causing undue interruption to traffic flow.

The addition of a large body of students, parents and teachers will cause loss of amenity for resident. Prince Alfred Park, the pool and the tennis courts for which the residents sufferd and paid for over a long period may well now serve as an extension to the schools grounds and play areas.

The height of the tower is totally out of keeping with the area and shows total lack of regard to the are and the sensitivities. It will be the proverbial pimple on a pumpkin and will cause loss of privacy, overshadowing. The proposed volume of users will require exit and entrances to occur via the park side causing more congestion and loss of amenity for residents .

This is a gross over development and proposed use and introduces a scale of architecture that is very incongruous to the corner of a very important public park. The application should be rejected

I understand and agree with the need for an inner city school and have no objection to the development of the site. I do however, have serious concerns about the height of the development which is not in keeping with any building around it. I also have concerns for the overshadowing of residential properties on both Cleveland st and Chalmers st.

Could you please provide details/diagrams, including location/s and proposed set-up of parking in regard to;
1) staff parking
2) drop-off & pick-up points for parents of the 1,200 students
3) visitor parking, particularly when the school is holding functions

Will current parking restrictions in the Redfern area be further restricted as a result of the huge numbers of people & cars expected to come into the area when it opens eg: 2 hrs to 1 hr, 1hr to 30 mins, etc?

Will the school employ traffic controllers to cater for students crossing busy Cleveland St or Elizabeth St before & after school?

Will the school cater for a fair mix of students from every background, or will it be swamped by Chinese students like our Universities or other schools in certain suburbs?

Will City of Sydney Rangers and/or Police patrol Prince Alfred Park & Central Railway Station to prevent is becoming a 'hang-out' in large numbers of students pre/post school hours?

The NSW Rural Fire Service advises that it wishes to amend it response dated 4 May 2017 with respect to the above SSD application by way of replacing the words `no recommendations' with the following wording. The NSW RFS amendment is based the fact that while the subject site is not mapped bush fire prone by Balranald Shire Council, the subject land has a significant potential to carry grass fires. Further NSW RFS is the primary response agency for fighting structural fires within the site.

The NSW RFS recommends the following conditions be attached to any consent granted:

1. A Fire Management Plan (FMP) shall be prepared in consultation with NSW RFS Lower Western Fire Control Centre. The FMP shall include:
- 24/7 contact details including alternative telephone contact;
- Site infrastructure plan;
- Fire fighting water supply plan;
- Site access and internal road plan;
- Construction of asset protection zones and their continued maintenance;
- Location of hazards (Physical, Chemical and Electrical) that will impact on fire fighting operations and procedures to manage identified hazards during fire fighting operations;
- Such additional matters as required by the NSW RFS District Office (Plan review and update).

2. The entire solar array development footprint to be managed as an Asset Protection Zone as outlined within section 4.1.3 and Appendix 5 of 'Planning for Bush Fire Protection 2006' and the NSW Rural Fire Service's document 'Standards for asset protection zones'.

3. A 20,000 litre water supply (tank) fitted with a 65mm storz fitting shall be located adjoining the internal property access road within the required APZ.

4. To allow for emergency service personnel to undertake property protection activities, a 20 metre defendable space (APZ), that permits unobstructed vehicle access is to be provided around the perimeter of the solar array development site.
