The O'Farrell Government risks a dangerous precedent here with respect to the need for any traffic studies, for any reason, in the future. Notwithstanding both the overt and covert deficiencies in the Parsons Brinckerhoff report, if ever there was a traffic study urging "proceed with extreme caution, or indeed, don't proceed at all", it is fhrs traffic study.

  • NSDC Submission 20191119
    Northern Sydney District Council of Parents & Citizens Associations Submission: Schools at the Meadowbank Education and Employment Precinct Wednesday, 20 November 2019 Abstract The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment has invited formal submissions on the State Significant Development Application for the new schools. In this submission the Northern Sydney District Council of P&C Associations (NSDC) outlines the probable requirement for the acquisition of additional land and the significant upgrade of Melrose Park Public School and Ermington Public School and the possible requirement for two additional primary schools within the Melrose Park precincts. NSDC identifies the requirement to build a new secondary school possibly for more than 2,000 students, ideally on the current site of Marsden High School, West Ryde. The NSW Government has announced that Marsden High School will be relocated to the new Meadowbank Education Precinct with capacity for 1500 secondary school students. The school will also include capacity for 120 students attending intensive English classes. In absence of demographic projections from the Department of Education, in conjunction with Marsden High School P&C Association, NSDC has performed a demographic analysis using a sophisticate demographic model based on ABS Census Data 2006-2016 for similar developments at Rhodes and Wentworth Point. This analysis has concluded that Meadowbank schools will be at capacity as early as 2023. The expansion of capacity at the Meadowbank campus addresses only the demographic growth resulting from the high density residential development at Meadowbank and Shepherds Bay plus demographic growth in existing suburbs in the eastern half of the current school catchment area.

  • Sydney Technical High School 2019 Annual Report
    Sydney Technical High School 2019 Annual Report 8141 Page 1 of 35 Sydney Technical High School 8141 (2019) Printed on: 1 June, 2020 Introduction The Annual Report for 2019 is provided to the community of Sydney Technical High School as an account of the school's operations and achievements throughout the year. It provides a detailed account of the progress the school has made to provide high quality educational opportunities for all students, as set out in the school plan. It outlines the findings from self–assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. School contact details Sydney Technical High School Forest Rd Bexley, 2207 www.sydneytech-h.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 9587 5899 Message from the principal It has been a wonderful experience for 2019 to be relieving as Principal. I have been very grateful for the opportunity and I have worked industriously to continue the great work of our former principal, Jacqueline Lyons. I feel very privileged to work in such a great school and am very glad that I am able to motivate and challenge our students to develop their natural abilities and drive them to strive for their personal best. The school community suffered greatly with the tragic passing of our Year 7 student, but I think that the strength and resilience of the staff, the students and the community have allowed us to work together and support one another through the difficult times as well as supporting the family and our colleagues at Hurstville Public School.

    15516 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 27 June 2001 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Henry Murray) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. BILLS RETURNED The following bills were returned from the Legislative Council without amendment: Corporations (Administrative Actions) Bill Corporations (Consequential Amendments) Bill Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Bill HOUSING BILL Second Reading Debate resumed from 22 June. Mr HUMPHERSON (Davidson) [10.02 a.m.]: I lead for the Opposition on the Housing Bill. I will elaborate the Opposition's views on aspects of this bill. The bill proposes to consolidate the existing three Housing Acts into one Act. The objectives of the bill are to continue and expand the functions of the New South Wales Land and Housing Corporation, to merge the Home Purchase Assistance Authority into the corporation, and to dissolve the HomeFund Advisory Panel. The Opposition understands and appreciates those objectives and does not have any deep concerns about them. The revamped Land and Housing Corporation will have slightly redefined primary roles. Those primary roles will be to: provide public housing, including the provision of rental rebates; acquire and/or develop land for urban development or public purposes; make residential land available; promote orderly and economic urban development; manage the Home Purchase Assistance Schemes; and to act jointly or independently in providing housing and/or land, including to act as Landcom or as the Land and Housing Corporation. I understand that there are two primary changes in the bill. I thank the Minister for the time given to the Opposition to discuss those matters with his staff.

    City of Ryde Media Release Thursday, 5 January 2006. COUNCIL SURVEY ASKS “WHAT MAKES RYDE TICK” Council is conducting a residents’ on-line survey during January to help produce a community snapshot and to gauge more accurately the feelings, aspirations and requirements of the people who live and work in the City of Ryde. Covering a wide range of issues, the on-line survey gives everyone the chance to comment on how they rate living in the area, the importance of various services and facilities provided, and what their vision for the future is. “Already, over 600 households in the district have responded to our Residents’ Survey,” said Council’s Acting General Manager, Kim Woodbury. “It’s a great way for people to express their likes, dislikes and views, in confidence, on a wide range of matters that affect them daily, from rates and rubbish, to the environment, employment or heritage issues. “It also provides Council with a report card on how the community rates our performance in managing the city’s resources, and will assist in our current and long-term planning. It also helps us to identify the kinds of services our community wants and needs.” The confidential, on-line Residents’ Survey (conducted by Taverner Research), takes about 15 minutes to complete and can be accessed on City of Ryde Website at www.ryde.nsw.gov.au (follow the prompts from the Home Page “Have Your Say”).
