The development of this site will occur in stages.
The first stage of the project centres on the release of the estate development plan for the site. The estate development plan, once finalised, will provide details of how the school block will be serviced and include other planning considerations such as site access and traffic, bushfire and water sensitive urban design.
ESPDD have been seeking early feedback on the draft estate development plan before it is lodged as a Development Application. There will be further opportunity to comment after the Development Application is lodged.
The second stage of the project centres on the design and construction of the high school in Kenny, to deliver 800 permanent places for Year 7 to 10 students by 2023. The Education Directorate is now seeking early feedback on the master plan design for the school. The consultation period is open Tuesday 23 March to Wednesday 7 April and the community is encouraged to attend one of the sessions (face to face or online), and/or submit their comments or questions about the development of the school. A report on the consultation process and feedback received will be prepared and submitted to the planning and land authority as part of the DA documentation for the project.
The consultation sessions will allow community members to learn more about the masterplan design for the new school and the DA being submitted. Participants will also have the opportunity to comment on the designs and ask questions. There will also be further opportunities to comment on the Development Application when it is lodged.
