GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                  16 AUGUST 2021


     intended to fulfil a temporary role while other development applications for new permanent
     buildings are pursued and which will require demolition of some existing buildings.
     The additional demountables will not be used to facilitate an increase in enrolments but rather
     to service current enrolments more appropriately. The demountables will be located within the
     existing central staff carparking area, which will become surplus once the new staff carpark is
     completed.
     The demountable buildings will proceed once the new staff carpark is operational.
     The new staff carpark is the first step in the proposed plans by GSLC for refurbishment and
     upgrade to the existing campus. We again confirm this is not intended to facilitate increased
     enrolment, but rather to provide a more modern and comprehensive learning facility.
The applicant has also advised:
     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 current construction program will
     require the demolition of an approximately 200m2 administration building in 2021. 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.
The locality and proposal plan are included below.
