planned/intended    demolition    of    existing    buildings  and   construction  of    future
buildings/redevelopment, to inform the duration of the proposed temporary demountable buildings
on site.

Information Required
2. Provide details and material that clearly outlines:
    a. The buildings/floor area that the proposed demountable buildings/classrooms are proposed
       to temporarily replace/fulfil;
    b. All planned/intended works on the site in the future, including any demolition and
       redevelopment.

Response
The demountable buildings are required due to two areas of need, temporary replacement of some
existing buildings which will be demolished with future construction, and to provide sufficient suitable
spaces for current demand. While the demountables are intended to fulfil a dual role, they are required
to fill an immediate need and will therefore be required until that need has been replaced with
permanent structures.

The masterplan included with the application details the current intent for future works on the site.
Planned works over the next 8 years include a Performing Arts building, a new Administration building
and a new classroom building. The timeline for these projects is outlined in the response to item 3.
                                                                                                     2
The current construction program will require the demolition of an approximately 200m
administration building in 2021. It is identified in the application documentation as being within the
“Future Performing Arts Building” footprint. The administration functions within that space will be
moved to two existing classrooms, the demountable building will be used to house those two
displaced classes.

3. Provide a timeline for all proposed and future planned/intended works on the site, including but
   not limited to:
   c. Construction of the new approved car park on Lot 30 SP 170751 (MCU18/0097);
   d. Construction/relocation of the proposed demountable buildings;
   e. Demolition/works to existing car parking areas;
   f. Construction of the proposed forecourt area;
   g. Demolition of existing buildings on the site;
   h. Redevelopment/construction of new buildings on the site.

Response
The new carpark on Lot 30 is programmed to commence construction by the end of September, with
completion by the end of the year. The new carpark will be operational for staff use by the start of the
2021 school year.

Construction of the demountables is proposed at the end of the 2020 school year. It is intended that
the demountables are ready for the 2021 school year and will coincide with the use of the new staff
carpark.

As part of the demountables project the existing staff carpark area will be closed off and will become
the ‘forecourt area’ shown on the proposal plans. No physical works are proposed within the forecourt
area.

Current planning is for construction of the Performing Arts building in 2021/22, an administration
building in 2024/25 and a classroom building in 2027/28. Existing buildings will be demolished as
required as part of these projects. This will be detailed with future applications.

At this time the demountables are intended to be onsite until 2028.
