URBIS AMENDMENT REPORT - ST ANTHONY OF PADUA SSD 8865 - MOD 1 INTRODUCTION 1

1. INTRODUCTION This Amendment report has been prepared by Urbis on behalf of Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) (the ‘Applicant’ in respect of the Section 4.55(2) application to modify the State Significant Development (SSD), Application (SSD-8865) which granted concept approval for site layout, access points, buildings and open space and detailed development approval for the staged construction of the St Anthony of Padua Catholic College at 125-165 Tenth Avenue and 140-170 Eleventh Avenue, Austral NSW 2179 (the project).

The report proposes project amendments to the modification as lodged and also addresses the matters raised by public agencies and the community during the public exhibition of the Section 4.55(2) modification application.

The modification application was on public exhibition between 10 May 2021 – 24 May 2021. During this period, nine (9) submissions were received. These were submissions from:

3. ACTIONS TAKEN SINCE EXHIBITION An overview of the actions taken since the public exhibition of the project is outlined in Table 1.

Table 1 Summary of actions taken since exhibition

Action Description

Further engagement

Community Consultation

Urbis has been engaged by the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney (CAS) Property Team to support St Anthony’s of Padua Parish (parish) in effective parishioner engagement relating to the future vision of the parish. The approved college masterplan has allocated new parish facilities for a new church and parish centre to create a unified parish and college campus.

Urbis has been working closely with CAS, the parish priest and the college principal to develop messaging and materials for several visioning sessions with the parish community.

The vision sessions were scheduled for the end of July 2021 but will be rescheduled following the outcome of the current Sydney COVID-19 lockdown.

Liverpool Council

SCS met with Council on 12 July 2021 to discuss the proposed modification and the timing for the delivery of the roadworks surrounding the site.

Council advised that its preferred position was a single lane roundabout with a view to changing this to traffic lights in the future subject to TfNSW agreement. It is understood that Council will separately pursue this matter with TfNSW.

At this meeting it was agreed that the roundabouts could be provided prior to the student population reaching 1,350. This is an increase on the 1,088 students currently referenced in Condition E10 of the consent. On 26 July 2021 SCS wrote to Council providing a record of the meeting discussion and requesting a letter of support confirming the agreed position. The SCS letter to Council has been included at Appendix C. Correspondence from Council will be forwarded to DPIE when it is received.

Further assessment

Flooding Assessment

In consideration of the comments received on the modification by the Department of Environment, Energy and Science (EES), GRC Hydro has undertaken an updated flooding assessment. The flooding assessment prepared to support the Section 4.55(2) modification application did not consider all built form approved on the site under SSD 8865. The updated flooding model shows that there will be localised off site flooding impacts, but these primarily affect Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) owned land and a tributary of South Creek. Refer to the Flooding Assessment at Appendix B and Table 4 for further discussion of these results.

Traffic Assessment

The Section 4.55(2) modification seeks to amend Condition E10 of SSD 8865 so that the student population threshold at which all roadworks surrounding the site, including the construction of the two roundabouts, is revised from 1,088 to 1,350. CBRK has

Project refinements

Since lodgement and public exhibition of the Section 4.55(2), the proponent has further developed the design of the project and made some minor amendments to the built form of the college and additions to supporting site infrastructure. These primarily arise as a result of ongoing design development and refinement of the scheme. The changes relate primarily to refining the built form of the main hall building and providing increased amenity and functionality to the college and include:

Minor increase to the roof height of the main hall building to accommodate the roof trusses specified by the structural engineer. The roof height will be RL 85.00 rather than the previous lodged submission of RL 84.30.

Refinement of the window arrangement in the façade of the main hall to improve daylight penetration to align with the ESD strategy and green star targets.

Incorporation of a bus shelter for students adjacent to the Eleventh Avenue

Conversion of external access stairway from main school building to an undercover walkway

The design refinements are illustrated in the amended Architectural Drawings (Appendix A) prepared by DWP.

Yes, shown in the detailed architectural plan set and is part of Construction Phase 3.

Design refinements 6) Changes to building envelope for main school building

7) changes to building envelope for main hall.

Yes, changes to building envelopes are reflected in the detailed architectural plan set and in the construction phases.

8) The main school building is part of Construction Phase 3.

9) The main hall is part of Construction Phase 4.

Construction Phasing - building

Under the existing SSDA 8865 consent the Concept approval includes the ‘outline staging’ of the development. Stage 1 is still to be constructed in construction phases, therefore it is not necessary to change this aspect of the condition.

Yes, changes to the construction phases are shown in the updated construction phasing drawings. The number of construction phases has been reduced from 6 to 4.

Carpark 3 in the south west of the site moved from Construction Phase 1 to Construction Phase 3.

8 SUMMARY OF PROJECT AMENDMENTS

Element Amendment to Concept Approval Amendment to Stage 1 Approval

The ovals have moved from Construction Phase1 to Construction Phase 3.

Student Numbers 10) No change to maximum student enrolment.

Yes, there are changes to the number of students within each construction phase.

Increase to the student population in Construction Phase 2, from 975 to 1,300 students.

4.1. STUDENT NUMBERS SCS has undertaken a more detailed review of projected student enrolments. This has identified that the student numbers per construction phase currently identified in SSDA 8865- MOD1 will be insufficient to cater for planned enrolments. Therefore the maximum student numbers per construction phase needs to be adjusted to accommodate planned enrolments at the school.

Accordingly, approval is sought for an increase to the student population in Construction Phase 2, from 975 to 1,300 students. Table 3 below the consent identifies the proposed updates to student, staff, carparking and bicycle parking spaces from the modification as lodged, in bold text and highlighted. This table is proposed to supersede the one currently within Condition B8 of the SSDA 8865 consent.

There have also been updates to the number of car spaces in Construction Phase 1 and Construction Phase 2. The numbers now reflect the actual number of car spaces provided on the site following the completion of Carpark 3 and Carpark 5. Note that at every construction phase the number of car spaces provided exceeds requirements, and these changes do not impact the total number of approved spaces.

Phase 3 2405 200 326 125 170

Phase 4 2405 200 326 125 180

During Construction Phase 2, the additional students will be accommodated in the existing primary school building, the recently completed Years 1-4 building and in temporary demountable buildings (which will be erected under separate approval pathways). The demountables are an interim solution until the end of 2023. After this time (ie Construction Phase 3), the main school building is anticipated to be completed, providing permanent accommodation for the whole student cohort. Refer Section 6.1 below for further details of the demountables.

4.2. CONSTRUCTION PHASING A review of the construction programme and available funding has resulted in changes to the construction phasing. The construction phasing identified in SSDA 8865 MOD 1 is proposed to be amended as follows:

URBIS AMENDMENT REPORT - ST ANTHONY OF PADUA SSD 8865 - MOD 1 SUMMARY OF PROJECT AMENDMENTS 9

Carpark 3 in the south west of the site has been moved from Construction Phase 1 to Construction Phase 3

The ovals have been moved from Construction Phase1 to Construction Phase 3

Improvements have been made to the presentation of the phasing diagrams to clearly differentiate between completed project elements as the construction phases progress. These consist of:

Identification in the plans of completed buildings, carpark and road works.

Completed outdoor play areas showing in a light grey, not green.

5. RESPONSE TO SUBMISSIONS The following Table 4 provides a summary of all submissions received and respective response.

Table 4 Response to submissions table

Issue Referral comment Response to submission Traffic and Parking There are a number of inconsistencies within the

documentation due to which the Department is unable to assess the overall traffic impacts and the mitigation measures of the modified proposal. The Department requests that you clarify: the approval pathway used for the construction of the

eastern carpark, which is currently operational. The Department notes that this originally formed part of the approved development.

Condition A10 of SSDA 8865 provides that the project may be constructed and operated in sub stages, generally in accordance with staging plan DA059 Revision 2 dated 10/3/2020. The eastern carpark (carpark 5) was originally identified as part of Phase 2 under SSDA 8865. It was constructed as part of Phase 1, due to the requirement for additional carparking provision on site earlier than anticipated. The construction phasing is still generally in accordance with the existing approval. The planned construction phasing has been updated as part of the modification to reflect existing and projected student enrolments and the growth of the school.

the basis of the figures used in paragraph 14 of the Traffic Report prepared by Colston Budd Rogers & Kafes dated12 April 2021 (such as the student numbers in various stages and the triggers to the roadworks), given that they are inconsistent with the student numbers in the modification report.

It is acknowledged that the figures cited in the April 2021 CBRK report are inconsistent with those in the modification report. The reference to 300 students mentioned in the April 2021 report was derived from CBRK’s previous experience negotiating warrants assessments for pedestrian crossing. The 1,150 figure was a clerical error transcribed from an earlier student population plan. The triggers for roadworks are set out in the modified Condition E10- refer discussion regarding this below.

how the proposed staged road upgrades / student number increases have been developed and why these do not align with the approved phased development. For example, the trigger for road upgrades, as approved, is prior to Phase 3 (1088 students), with an interim crossing prior to student numbers reaching 659. However, the trigger for the commencement of construction of such

As noted above, the construction of the approved development has varied slightly from the construction phasing approved in SSDA 8865. The rate of enrolments has increased faster than originally projected and accordingly the college has to cater for a larger student population on site earlier than anticipated. To address this, the surrounding roadworks that were originally part of Phase 3 have been commenced early as part of Stage 1 with Section 138 Roads Act approvals obtained

URBIS AMENDMENT REPORT - ST ANTHONY OF PADUA SSD 8865 - MOD 1 RESPONSE TO SUBMISSIONS 11

Issue Referral comment Response to submission upgrades, as proposed in the modification application, is 975 students.

There is no information provided to inform whether the interim roadworks are proposed at 659 students and what is the impact of no roadworks being done for students up to 975.

from Liverpool Council. This fast tracking of required works to the surrounding roadworks will improve traffic flows and pedestrian safety around the school earlier than previously planned and is a positive outcome for the school and the surrounding community. The interim roadworks required by the consent (the pedestrian crossing to Eleventh Avenue) will be completed prior to the college reaching 659 students. Section 6.3 below describes the status of all surrounding roadworks.

when school pedestrian crossings will be provided and confirm whether the interim crossing at Eleventh Avenue has been constructed in accordance with condition of approval E11.

The interim pedestrian crossing to Eleventh Avenue has been constructed as part of construction Phase 1 as required by Condition E11. Council has requested that SCS now upgrade this to a raised ‘wombat’ crossing and an application for these external road works has been lodged with Council.

how is the modification to Condition E10 proposed As noted above SCS has consulted with Council regarding the program for the delivery of the roadworks surrounding the site, including the roundabouts. Council has agreed that the roundabouts can be provided by time the student population reaches 1,350, an increase from the 1,088 currently referenced in Condition E10. The increase in student numbers to 1,350 will provide additional time for the necessary land acquisition, a factor that is beyond the control of SCS. Refer to SCS letter to Council at Appendix C. The increase has been supported by traffic assessment as detailed in Section 6.4 below. Accordingly we propose the following changes to Condition E10 Roadworks, Access and pedestrian infrastructure E10. Prior to the commencement of operation of construction phase 3 or the school student numbers reaching 1088 1350 (whichever occurs earlier), the following roadworks required by this development consent must be completed to the satisfaction of the Certifier. The roadworks must include:



Issue Referral comment Response to submission (a) construction of the two roundabouts at the intersection of Fourth / Tenth Avenues and Fourth / Eleventh Avenues with signage and line marking; (b) construction of full width of the road reserve for Eleventh Avenue with the required footpaths, shared cyclist / pedestrian paths, signage and line marking; (c) construction of full width of road reserve for Tenth and Fourth Avenues with the require footpaths, signage and line marking works; and (d) construction of all associated vehicular crossings / access points to the site; and (e) construction of pedestrian crossings (either Wombat crossing or any other interim crossing as permitted by the warrants and approved by the relevant roads authority) with associated signage and line marking. The Applicant must obtain approval for the works under section 138 of the Roads Act 1993, where required prior to completion of the above roadworks.

1. - why the Year 1-4 building, as depicted in the proposed staging plan, is shaded in grey

This error has been corrected in the updated plan set. The Years 1-4 building is part of Construction Phase 1 and is shaded orange. Refer to amended plans at Appendix A.

2. - why the approved ‘Phase 1’ and proposed ‘Existing’ figures differ, as indicated in proposed Condition B8 Table 1. For example, the ‘Existing’ figures show a reduction in both car and bicycle parking spaces when compared to the previously approved ‘Phase 1’.

The carparking and bicycle parking numbers approved as Phase 1 were intended to reflect the existing parking and bicycle provision on the site and should have been identified as ‘existing’ rather than ‘Phase 1’. Since the SSDA approval and the engagement of a new project architect the proposed carparking layouts have been refined. While the approved total number of car parking and bicycling spaces has not changed, they have been distributed slightly differently across the site. With the reduction in the number of phases, the majority of carparking


Issue Referral comment Response to submission will be delivered in Construction Phase1. Construction Phase 1 is under construction and the site currently provides 66 car parking spaces, 42 drop off spaces and 10 bicycle spaces.

Student numbers - why ‘Existing’ student numbers are shown as 360 in proposed condition B8 Table 1, an increase of 66 students beyond that approved for ‘Phase 1’ and exceeding the approved capacity of the school under Council consent DA465/2016.

The increase in student population in Phase 1 beyond that approved under DA16/2016 reflects additional students accommodated in demountable classrooms installed using the exempt development provision of SEPP Education 2017. These demountable classrooms were installed after approval of the SSDA 8865. As noted above, the rate of enrolments has increased faster than anticipated and these additional students have had to be accommodated in temporary demountables while construction progresses. The population is consistent with that approved up to Phase 2 of the SSDA. Refer Section 4.1 for further discussion of student numbers.

TfNSW TfNSW has reviewed the modification application and notes that the proposed reconfiguration of the approved internal layout does not result in changes to the approved student numbers and vehicular access arrangements. As such, TfNSW raises no objections to the proposed modification, as it has minimal impacts on the classified road network. The requirements in the TfNSW letter dated 5 December 2019 also remain applicable.

Noted – no action required

The RMS submission referred to and duplicated the TfNSW submission.

Noted – no action required.

Biodiversity

The site is biodiversity certified. EES’s previous comments were in relation to species selection for landscaping. According to the Landscape Master Plan on the website for this modification, the planting schedule includes a number of CPW species, and therefore is considered to be satisfactory.

Noted – no further action required.

Flooding

GRC Hydro has re-run the flood modelling to reflect the up-to-date site masterplan. Refer to Amended Flooding report at Appendix B.



Issue Referral comment Response to submission EES comments relating to emergency management

requirements under the Probable Maximum Flood Event provided on the original SSD application are still applicable. The north-eastern portion of the site will have early learning and kindergarten facilities. This area is a flood storage and will be subject to inundation with floodwater depth in the order of 0.5m to 1m under the PMF Event. The proponent will need to develop an emergency management plan, in consultation with Council and SES, to eliminate any potential risks to children attending these facilities during major and rarer flooding events through provision of safe evacuation for children and staff members. A shelter-in place strategy may be a possibility as the duration inundation is expected to be short.

The extension to the existing early learning centre in the north east corner of the site replaces the existing flood storage basin this area. This basin was integrated into the school playground as part of existing primary school. This area will no longer be flood storage and has been removed from the model. The revised flooding assessment shows that in the post development scenario, there will be three areas of increased flood level for the 1% AEP event: -Increase to the south west in kerb gutter area of the roadway, no impacts to private property -Increase to the south east to land owned by the Proponent -Increase to the north to a tributary of the South Creek waterway. Flood affectation is not increased to any property other than land owned by the proponent. The proposal also reduces flooding risk to the occupants of the school by removing the retardant basin. Overall, the flooding impacts are not considered material. The safety risk to children needs to be managed and it is considered that the benefits to student safety outweigh the minor offsite impacts on the creek and on balance these are considered to be acceptable. Condition of consent E20 of SSD 8865 requires the preparation of an Emergency Management Plan prior to the operation of Stage 1 to address the safe evacuation of students and staff in a Probably Maximum Flood (PMF) event. The proponent understands this requirement and the modification does not seek to change this condition.

The development site will be regraded which would have impacts on overland flow paths. The south eastern portion will have higher elevation under the post-development condition, which would restrict overland flow paths and cause afflux in the order of 0.3m to 0.5m in the adjoining property under an 1% AEP Flood Event.

The flood model has been re-run as noted above. The maximum floodwater affectation identified to the adjoining properties is: -0.1m-0.3m to the south west -0.3m-0.5m to the south east.


Issue Referral comment Response to submission The adjoining property has limited extent of inundation under existing conditions and the floodwater depth is expected to be in the order of 0.1m to 0.3m under an 1% AEP Flood Event. The proponent should notify the changes in flooding conditions to the adjoining property owner and keep provisions for inter-allotment drainage to facilitate development in the future at the adjoining property.

The adjoining property to the south east is owned by the proponent. Future development on this site will have regard for the flooding impacts of the school. The school development improves offsite flooding conditions to the lots to the south west, which under existing conditions show inundation of 0.5m-1m under the existing conditions.

Environmental protection

The EPA has no comments to provide on this project and no follow up consultation is required.

Noted-no action required.

Bushfire The New South Wales Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) submission provides recommended consent conditions concerning Asset Protection Zones, Internal Roads, Water and Utility Services and Landscaping.

The RFS submission recommends conditions of consent to be applied to the modification. The project bushfire consultant has reviewed the RFS submission and confirmed that these are standard conditions of consent that the project is able to comply with. No further action is required at this stage.

Network Capacity / Connection

Endeavour Energy has noted from the Section 4.55(2) Modification Report the proposed amendments do not appear to have a direct or significant impact on the existing or required electricity infrastructure. Notwithstanding the proposed amendments the recommendations and comments provided therein essentially remain valid.

Noted- no action required.

Traffic Austral Progress Association is concerned about the traffic congestion on Tenth Ave, Austral which has occurred since the residential land development in Austral commenced and considerably increased over the past 12 months. Tenth Ave is an unmarked roadway. The increase in traffic congestion has been generated through residential land development in Austral, the drop off/pick up for Austral Public Primary School, street parking to residential housing, and aged care developments.

The submission requests that consideration be given to: -widening the internal access road off Tenth Avenue -bringing forward the planned works to extend the internal road access road from Tenth Avenue to exit at Eleventh Avenue - currently scheduled for 2025-2026. There is no change to the approved internal access road and vehicular access points to the site under this modification. The Colston Budd R and Kafes (CBRK) assessment of the approved site layout found that the internal access road complies with the expected vehicular generation and design parameters for the vehicles that will use it,



Issue Referral comment Response to submission It is noted there are ‘no changes to access arrangements’. With St (Anthony’s) Internal Road accessed from Tenth Ave the traffic congestion will increase considerably when the access road is opened. The extension of the internal access road through to Eleventh Avenue is due to commence in Stage 3 2025-2026 with 1661 students. By then the traffic effect and increase of traffic flow in Tenth Ave will have increased significantly. If the access road is constructed through to Eleventh Avenue the traffic congestion on Tenth Ave may not increase so significantly. At the access gateway in Tenth Ave to the Internal pick up/drop off road can consideration be given to increasing the width of Internal road entry access at Tenth Ave to allow easier vehicular traffic entry and exit and avoid the occurrence of possible accidents.

without resulting in undue impacts on the surrounding road network. Widening the access road would have consequential impacts on the built form of the school and is not necessary from a traffic management perspective.

Access

The increase in residential land development has increased the traffic flow on the surrounding roads of Fourth Avenue and Edmondson Ave not just Tenth Ave. The (ability of) Tenth Ave to accommodate this given traffic volume is questionable given the limitation of the width and condition of the road without road works.

The submission is concerned that Tenth Avenue (at its current width and condition) is not able to accommodate existing traffic generation from surrounding residential generation. SSDA 8865 includes the full width road widening of Fourth Avenue and Tenth Avenue to the site boundary. This outcome was negotiated and agreed with Liverpool Council and forms part of the conditions of the SSD consent. The CBRK traffic assessment submitted with the original SSDA found that the proposed road widening would accommodate expected traffic generation, including residential traffic generation around the site.

By the time enrolments reach 1150 students the ability of Tenth Ave to accommodate the traffic volume is questionable. Given the existing traffic problems and the future increase in traffic flow to Tenth Ave when St Anthony’s School Internal drop off/Pick up access Road opens an

As noted above, the timing of the planned road widening and upgrade works were assessed by CBRK as part of SSD 8865 and found to be acceptable. The proposed modification does not seek to delay the delivery of road upgrades and improvements around the site. The proposed changes


Issue Referral comment Response to submission upgrade to Tenth Ave would be required well before the 1150 students is reached. With the Internal Drop off/Pick up connection road to Eleventh Ave proposed in Stage 3 2025-2026 with 1661 students by then the traffic effect and increase of traffic flow in Tenth Ave will have increased significantly. With the secondary effect of traffic congestion related to delays is the inability for parents to estimate travel time to school and work, the stopping and starting in traffic jams, manoeuvring vehicles through parked vehicles and traffic and the senseless reaction to traffic congestion – road rage. All these have a significant impact on teachers, parents and children lives and their safety, and emergency services access to Tenth Ave. The Austral Progress Association Inc seek consideration be given to Tenth Ave roadworks commencing at significantly earlier date and student enrolments be below the 1150 noted.

instead bring forward planned external road works around the site. The road widening and upgrade of Tenth Avenue is to occur at Construction Phase 2 (2023-2024), brought forward from the previously approved Construction Phase 3. The connection of the internal access road through to Eleventh Avenue remains part of Construction Phase 3.

Notice of modification Notification of this modification was only provided to some organisations and resident a few days ago, giving very little time to study and digest the proposal and the modifications.

The modification was publicly notified in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions from 10 May 2021 – 24 May 2021.

This project is way too big for the location it is in, to place over 2000 student into a school, within this location is excessive. It brings with it the need for over 300 car movements (based on the plans), for not only the staff working at the school, but also parents dropping off students, meaning there would potentially be well over 300 car movements per morning and then again in the afternoon. Added to this is the need for at least 40 full size buses twice a day. This amount of vehicle movements twice a day, into what is already a very congested set of roads surrounding

The school development and maximum student population were approved under SSD 8865 and are not subject to change under this modification. Traffic and parking impacts were assessed as part of SSD 8865 and found to be acceptable.



Issue Referral comment Response to submission the school leaves it open to a very high potential for accidents causing serious injury.

Additionally, the works already undertaken by the school in relation to Eleventh avenue are way to (sic) inadequate, and the roads surrounding the school are too narrow, and then add the congestion that this traffic movement, along with the normal traffic from not only the residents travelling along these roads, but also the nearby Austral Public, this has a (sic) extremely high potential for serious accidents involving cars and pedestrians. Even noting in the proposal, the installation of pedestrian crossing, does not alleviate this high risk, as the roads are too narrow to accommodate such a large volume of vehicles and pedestrians and reduced visibility, and these roads have no potential to be widened, due to the dwellings already present on these roads.

SSDA 8865 includes the full width road widening of Fourth Avenue and Tenth Avenue along the site boundary. It also includes partial widening of Eleventh Avenue incorporating a bus bay adjacent to the main school entrance. The upgrade and widening works to the surrounding streets including the pedestrian crossings to Eleventh and Tenth Avenue were negotiated and agreed with Liverpool Council and form part of the conditions of the SSD consent. The proposed road upgrades were assessed to be adequate from a vehicular management and safety perspective to cater for the increased traffic movements attributed to the school.

Also noted in the plans is a proposed Bell Tower, which from the plans is to be located on the Eleventh Avenue side of the school, which would then project across the school towards Tenth Avenue, and out to Fourth Avenue and Edmondson Avenue. The volume required from this bell, would need to be excessively loud, so as to project to all corners of the school. Due to the direction that the noise of the 'bell' is required to travel, this noise would impact upon the surrounding houses and businesses, including, but not limited to, the Aged Care Facility and houses directly opposite, along with the retirement village beside the aged care facility.

The acoustic impacts associated with the original SSD 8865 and the proposed modification were assessed by JHA and found to be acceptable and in compliance with the relevant amenity criteria. The assessment considered the impacts of traffic noise, students playing outside and the bell. No additional acoustic mitigation measures have been identified as being required.

Additionally, this school was to be built in 6 stages, but in the modifications, it appears that this has been changed to 4 stages, thus reducing the timeframe for full completion. By

The development and maximum approved student population of 2,280 were approved under SSD 8865 and are not subject to change under


Issue Referral comment Response to submission reducing the number of stages, on such a large project, bringing in well over 2000 students, into what is in reality a small sized block for the quantity of student slated to attend, reduces the ability for the impact of the schools development to be monitored as it grows, and to be restricted when it is found that there is too greater risk to, not only the business and residents surrounding the school, but also the students themselves, from the sheer amount of traffic using, what is essentially roads that are too narrow to accommodate, what is already a high volume of traffic.

this modification. Traffic and parking impacts were assessed as part of SSD 8865 and found to be acceptable. The proposed changes to the construction phasing and student population on the site do not change the maximum student population. It is also noted the construction phases were not intended to serve as ‘hold’ points for review of the appropriateness of the total size of the college and do not serve this purpose.

Any expansion from its current size, in light of the stages already built, along with the developments in the surround area and suburb, is already putting too great a risk on the lives of the people travelling through and within the area around the development.

The student population was approved under SSD 8865 and it not proposed to be increased. The impacts associated with the approved student population were found to be acceptable as part of the original SSD 8865 assessment.

Also, the school plans need to be adjusted to remove the impact on neighbours from the noise that will be generated by the school, not only by the 'Bell Tower', but also the number of student in the school ground generating noise during breaks, plus the volume of traffic (buses and cars) generating noise to a level that will severely impact the neighbours living and peace.

The acoustic impacts associated with the original SSD 8865 and the proposed modification were found to be acceptable and in compliance with the relevant amenity criteria. No additional acoustic mitigation measures have been identified as being required.

Additional comments were provided by DPIE in a request for information (RFI) letter of 4 August 2021. These comments are addressed in Table 5 below.

Table 6 DPIE RFI Matters and response

Issue RFI comment Response Phasing and retrospective modifications

1. To avoid confusion, the Department will continue to refer to the approved SSD development as ‘Concept’ and ‘Stage 1’, and the individual construction/operational sub-stages under Stage 1 as ‘phases’. This is consistent with

The architectural plans have been updated to include reference to construction ‘phases’ rather than ‘stages’. Refer Attachment A.



Issue RFI comment Response the language used in the instrument of development consent for SSD-8865. Please revise all documentation to refer to the construction/operational stages as ‘phases’. For example, the proposed modified condition of consent B8 Table 1 should refer to ‘Phase 1 – at end 2023’ rather than ‘Stage 1 – at the end of 2023’. 2. The Department notes that the approved Stage 1 development has already been re-phased, however condition A10 of SSD-8865 does not allow for amendments to the sub-phases of the Stage 1 development without approval. The Department also notes that student capacity cannot be increased under the exempt development provisions of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Educational Establishments and Child Care Centre) 2017 (Education SEPP).

The parts of the approved sub phases to Stage 1 that have been constructed or are operational ahead of the approved construction phasing are described in Section 6.1 of this letter. This includes changes to student capacity as described in Section 6.1.1. Retrospective approval for the occupation and use of these elements of the project is explicitly sought as part of the modification application.

Therefore, you must clearly describe the aspects of the development that do not form part of the approved sub-phase ‘Phase 1’, but have been constructed and/or are operational prior to their relevant phase (e.g. the eastern car park, the Years 1-4 building, and student capacity beyond that approved under Phase 1). You should then explicitly seek retrospective approval to modify the sub-phases of the Stage 1 approval for all relevant development aspects that have been brought forward.

Additional proposed project refinements

3. You must explicitly state whether the additional ‘project refinements’ form part of the proposed modified Concept Approval, modified Stage 1 Approval, or both. If the proposed bus shelter forms part of the modified Stage 1 works, please indicate which sub-phase it would be included in. The Department is concerned that this did

The project refinements result in the need to make minor changes to the approved Concept Approval and to the approved construction phasing. The proposed changes are described in Section 6.2. Updated Concept Approval plans and construction phasing plans are included at Attachment A. The proposed bus shelter will be constructed as part of Construction Phase 3.


Issue RFI comment Response not form part of the original consent and may not be consistent with the original approval.

4. Provide amended architectural drawings to demonstrate the proposed bus shelter.

Updated Concept Approval site plans and construction phasing plans showing the location of the proposed bus shelter are included at Attachment A.

5. Confirm that the proposed bus shelter is not associated with any changes in bus or student capacity, or whether it would result in additional traffic movements. This should be clarified via an amended traffic impact assessment.

The bus shelter is not associated with any increased student capacity or additional traffic movements. This is reflected in the amended traffic assessment at Attachment B.

Roadworks and Traffic Report

6. Confirm the status of all roadworks currently being undertaken.

All roadworks completed or in progress are described in Section 6.3.

7. Provide a revised Traffic Report that: a) includes evidence to justify the proposed revised student capacity trigger for the completion of required roadworks, in particular the 1350 student trigger figure for the completion of roundabout works. b) includes all figures that are consistent with those provided within the modification report (the Department previously outlined inconsistent figures within its RtS request letter dated 1 June 2021). The Traffic Report must demonstrate that all figures used to inform the modification application are correct and based on thorough traffic assessment.

A revised traffic report assessing these matters is included at Attachment B. Refer Section 6.4 for discussion of the findings of the assessment.

Other matters 8. The Years 1-4 building is still shown inconsistently on the plans. For example, it is shown as ‘existing’ on some plans. For consistency and to avoid any confusion regarding the approval pathway for the building, each plan must indicate that the building is included as part of Phase 1 works.

The updated construction phasing plans consistently identify Years 1-4 building as part of Construction Phase 1 – refer Attachment A.



Issue RFI comment Response 9. With regard to the Department’s enquiry regarding

the differing figures provided in the proposed Condition B8 Table 1 (‘Phase 1’ versus ‘Existing’), it is noted that the approved Phase 1 figures for car and bicycle parking spaces were intended to reflect the existing provision on site. However, if these spaces were previously existing at the site, this does not explain why the number of ‘existing’ spaces outlined within the modification application are lower than those previously identified. Please clarify the difference. For example, have some of the previously identified spaces since been removed? Should this be the case, you will need to explicitly advise that this aspect of the development is subject to a retrospective modification request (see Point 2).

As previously noted, since the SSDA approval and the engagement of a new project architect the proposed carparking layouts have been refined. Section 6.3.1 contains a table detailing the different carparks and number of car spaces provided on the site. Carpark 1 on Eleventh Avenue was existing and served the existing primary school which was approved by Liverpool Council under DA 2016/465. This carpark was renovated as part of approved construction phase 1 which resulted in the loss of spaces to accommodate a generator, provide more space at the school entrance, and to avoid driveways.

10. All architectural drawings must show RL level to top of roof and rooftop services, as consistent with the approved drawings. For example, the height of the roof of the main school building appears to extend beyond roof level RL shown on the plan.

The updated architectural plans identify the RL level to top of roof and rooftop services. Refer Attachment A.

URBIS AMENDMENT REPORT - ST ANTHONY OF PADUA SSD 8865 - MOD 1 ASSESSMENT 23

6. ASSESSMENT 6.1. PROJECT PHASING AND RETROSPECTIVE MODIFICATIONS The proposed modification to SSD 8865 seeks approval for proposed changes to the approved construction phasing of Stage 1 of the development. The works completed or in progress on the site have been carried out following the issue of construction certificates by a private certifier for the works. However, we note DPIE’s advice that Condition A10 does not provide flexibility in the construction phasing of the development. Therefore, the proposed modification also seeks retrospective approval for the altered construction phasing, delivery of certain works and student population increases that are not in accordance with the approved construction phasing.

Completed and operational works consist of:

Years 1- 4 building (part of approved Construction Phase 1)

Carpark 1 and internal road (part of approved Construction Phase 4)

The following elements of the project are currently under construction:

Carpark 2 (part of approved Construction Phase 2)

Carpark 5 (part of approved Construction Phase 2)

This modification therefore seeks retrospective approval for the use of:

Carpark 1 and internal road

Carpark 2

Carpark 5

There are some elements of the projects that were approved as part of Construction Phases 1 and 2 and that have not been completed. These are:

Landscaped area to Eleventh Avenue (part of approved Construction Phase 1)

Playground adjoining Years 1-4 building (part of approved Construction Phase 2)

Oval (part of approved Construction Phase 2)

The landscaped area to Eleventh Avenue is currently occupied by a temporary demountable classroom installed under clause 38(1)(l) of State Environmental Planning Policy (Educational Establishments and Child Care Centre) 2017 (Education SEPP) as exempt development. The playground adjoining the Years 1-4 building has been delayed as these parts of the site are proposed to be modified under this application (SSDA 8865- MOD 1) The approved playground is proposed under SSDA 8865-MOD 1 to become a sports court, and an additional oval (now to be delivered in Construction Phase 3) will be provided on the southern edge of the site.

Open space and amenity for the student population is currently provided in a temporary playground in the north west corner of the site (this is located on the site of the main hall building, and is also exempt development under Clause 38(1)(d)) of the Education SEPP) and in the areas adjoining the existing primary school building.

6.1.1. Student Population The proposed modification also seeks retrospective approval for an increased student population in advance of the approved construction phasing. Table 7 provides an overview of the current approved student capacity per construction phase in relation to that sought under the proposed modification.

*inclusive of child care spaces

**the 360 represents additional students in excess of the number approved under the primary school DA2016/465

Table 2 shows that construction Phase 1 authorised an existing student population of 294, increasing to 659 as part of construction Phase 2. SCS has advised that current number of students on site is 562. As detailed in Section 1.1 of this letter, SCS has identified that student enrolments will exceed 975 prior to the construction of Construction Phase 3. Therefore, approval is sought for the number of students in Construction Phase 2 to be increased to 1300.

The students are being and will be temporarily accommodated in several demountable classrooms on the northern frontage of the school facing Eleventh Avenue. This is an interim response to the need to accommodate student enrolments which have increased faster than the overall construction programme, which has had unforeseen delays as a result of the COVID19 pandemic.

The demountables were installed as exempt development under Clause 38(1)(l) of the Education SEPP. It is intended to lodge a development application with Liverpool Council for any demountables that will remain on site for longer than the 24 month period permitted under this clause. We also note DPIE’S advice that student capacity cannot be increased under the exempt development provisions of the Education SEPP.

This modification therefore seeks retrospective approval for:

an increase to the student population in advance of that authorised under SSDA 8865

the use and occupation of the demountables by the increased student population.

The proposed modification seeks approval for an increased student population under Construction Phase 1 of 975. The proposed modification, if approved, will therefore readily accommodate the existing student presence on the site. It will also cater for projected student enrolments for the college and ensure that student numbers on site are consistent with the terms of the approval.

6.2. DESIGN REFINEMENTS The Submissions Report detailed minor design refinements including an amendment to the roof height of the main hall building and the inclusion of a bus shelter to provide additional amenity to school students.

The maximum RL of the main hall has also been adjusted from RL83.985M to RL 85M. These changes to the maximum approved heights have arisen as the original design as approved did not include allowances for adequate structural depth, future roof top plant or servicing requirements for the buildings.


The change in height will be imperceptible from outside the site and will have no adverse impacts on surrounding properties. The overall size of the building has also been reduced as demonstrated in the Concept Approval elevation. The proposed bus shelter is a minor built element within the site. The impacts of the design refinements will be minor and are considered acceptable.

The design refinements are shown on the Concept Approval site layout and the detailed architectural proposal.

6.3. ROADWORKS Table 8 below describes the status of the roadwork surrounding the site. The roadworks have been commenced and completed following the issue of Section 138 approvals by Liverpool Council:

Table 8 Status of surrounding roadworks

Element Status / comment

Widening of Eleventh Avenue Works completed

Interim pedestrian crossing to Eleventh Avenue

A painted pedestrian crossing as required under Condition E11 has been delivered.

Liverpool Council has requested that SCS now upgrade this to a raised ‘wombat’ crossing. An application for this has been lodged with Council.

Widening of Tenth Avenue Works have commenced and are expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2021.

Interim pedestrian crossing to Tenth Avenue

Pedestrian crossing will be delivered as part of the road widening works. Works have commenced and are expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2021.

Widening of Fourth Avenue Works have commenced and are expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2021.

Roundabouts A roundabout design was provided to Liverpool Council in August 2021. This was presented to the local traffic committee for approval in mid-September 2021. Timely construction of the roundabouts depends on land acquisition which is to be undertaken by Liverpool Council. It is proposed to modify Condition E10 to require the roundabouts to be provided by the time the student population reaches 1,350. Most importantly, an updated traffic assessment has been completed by CBRK to support this request which finds that the traffic network will operate satisfactorily with the interim intersection arrangements (ie give way signs on Eleventh Avenue and stop signs on Tenth Avenue) prior to the installation of the roundabouts – refer Section 6.4 The increase in student numbers to 1,350 will provide additional time for the necessary land acquisition, a factor that is beyond the control of SCS.

26 ASSESSMENT URBIS


6.3.1. Carparking Since the approval of SSDA 8865 the design of the carparks on the site have been refined. While the approved total number of car parking spaces has not changed, they have been distributed differently across the site. These changes are identified in Table 9 below.

6.4. TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT The Section 4.55(2) modification seeks to amend Condition E10 of SSD 8865 so that the student population threshold at which all roadworks surrounding the site, including the construction of the two roundabouts, is revised from 1,088 to 1,350. DPIE has requested traffic assessment to support this proposed change.

CBRK has prepared an updated traffic assessment, (refer Attachment B) including a SIDRA analysis of the operation of Fourth/ Tenth Avenues and Fourth/ Eleventh Avenues prior to the construction of the two roundabouts.

The interim intersection configurations would comprise:

at Fourth Avenue/Eleventh Avenue – two approach lanes on Eleventh Avenue (east), including a short left turn lane and a shared through/right lane. Give way controls provided on both Eleventh Avenue approaches.

at Fourth Avenue/Tenth Avenue – two approach lanes on Tenth Avenue (east), including a short left turn lane and a shared through/right lane. Stop signs provided on both Tenth Avenue approaches.

The interim intersection configuration will be operational prior to the student population reaching 1,088, the current threshold in Condition E10. CBRK notes that the difference between 1,088 and 1,350 is minor, and equates to approximately an additional 10 vehicle movement per hour through the intersections.

The analysis found that with the interim arrangements, the intersections of Fourth Avenue and Tenth and Fourth Avenue and Eleventh Avenues will operate at service B, a satisfactory level of service. Copies of the SIDRA output summaries are appended to the CBRK report.

The CBRK assessment therefore concludes that with the interim traffic measures in place, both intersections would operate satisfactorily with a school population of 1,350 students, prior to roundabouts being provided. From these findings, we are also able to infer that the proposed increase to 1,300 students in Construction Phase 2 will not have detrimental impacts on the operation of the intersections.

28 UPDATED EVALUATION AND CONCLUSION URBIS


7. UPDATED EVALUATION AND CONCLUSION This report proposes amendments to the project and addresses the matters raised by government agencies, authorities, community organisation and in public submissions during public exhibition of the proposed Section 4.55(2) application to modify the SSD-8865.

Following lodgement of the Section 4.55(2) application and receipt of submissions on the proposed development and the DPIE’s identification of key issues letter, the proponent has:

provided updated technical information including a revised flooding assessment, traffic assessment and additional justification where required to address questions and concerns raised by government agencies, a communist organisation and one member of the public.

identified project amendments consisting of adjustment to student population permitted under each construction phase, and the works included in the construction phases.

proposed minor design refinements to the architecture of the proposal, including an amendment to the roof height of the main hall building and the inclusion of a bus shelter to provide additional amenity to school students.

All proposed changes are documented within the amended architectural package and notice provided under Section 121b of the EP and A Regulations to amend the modification application.

Engaged with Council regarding the delivery of roadworks around the site including the delivery of roundabouts and a resolution has been agreed with Council about the delivery of all roadworks infrastructure after the student population reaches 1,350.

These actions have resulted in the final design outcome presented within the amended Architectural Plans at Appendix A. This additional information does not modify the conclusions of the planning assessment provided in the Section 4.55(2) modification report.

In summary, the proposed amended project is considered suitable for the site and worthy of support by the Minister for the following reasons:

the construction phasing plan will deliver the necessary buildings and surrounding traffic infrastructure to support the planned student population, with consent conditions updated to reflect updates to staging plans and student and car parking numbers.

the minor increase to the height of the main hall is negligible. The increase in height will have no adverse impact on the streetscape and the building will remain below the highest elements on the site, being the belltower. This has been documented within the updated Architectural plans as appended.

the proposed modification will not result in any adverse environmental impacts. The proposal will not result in any adverse built form (bulk, overshadowing) impacts, traffic and parking, privacy (visual, acoustic), or ecological impacts.

the proposed modification will not result in any significant changes to bushfire and flooding risks on the site.

the proposal does not have any unacceptable impacts on adjoining properties, the public domain or end users in terms of traffic, social and environmental impacts.

As outlined throughout this report, the proposed modification is in the public interest, responds to the statutory requirements under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and has adequately addressed and responded the submissions received during the public exhibition period. As such, the proposed amended modification is considered appropriate for the site and should be supported by the Minister for Planning as the consent authority for State Significant Development.
