1. while this development is happening, the school/ council/roads authority should widen the top of Bayview hill road. This is a narrow road at the top and with the load of traffic during school drop off/pick up, one cannot get down the road as cars are parked on the right and cars lining up, block the entrance to the houses beyond this point.
2. I object to 70 extra pupils with the accompanying 70 extra cars to the area.

Thank you for the recent information given on the new sports precinct for Kambala School for Girls in Rose Bay. As a near neighbour, former pupil and a former teacher, I would like to give my support for the future plans. The students would benefit from a gymnasium and the extra classrooms and I do not believe that these plans will be detrimental to the community in any way.

As the rector of the local Anglican Church - and also as a close neighbour I fully support this project for the following reasons:

1. It will advance the aims and values of the school and therefore benefit the wider community
2. The development will, in my opinion, be very much in keeping with the built and natural local structures; indeed it will enhance the area.

RE: SSD-10385 Kambala Sport, Wellbeing and Senior Learning Precinct

I refer to the above development application on exhibition and wish to make a submission in support of the application.

I support this project on the following grounds:

• It will provide greatly needed sporting facilities for the school
• The design enables improved green space to be achieved on the site
• The sensitive design will provide an enhanced heritage curtilage around the treasured Tivoli building
• It will enable views and outlook to the harbour to be maintained, which the previous scheme that was approved on the site did not achieve

My family has lived opposite Kambala school for over 19 years in fact we are probably the closest house to the school as we are directly opposite it on New South Head Road. We are very concerned about the impact of the development on our amenity particularly the impact of the new sports centre proposed for the existing oval. In particular we are concerned at the proposed installation of tennis courts on the roof of the centre and particularly bright tennis court floodlights.
We have had problems over a number of years of lights on the existing tennis courts being left on at night, often long after any sporting activity has ceased sometimes all night. I now have to text or ring the security people at the school to turn the lights off some of which face towards our house. This is quite disturbing as it impacts our harbour view and is unnecessary and in fact reflects an uncaring attitude towards neighbours. I do not see why as long term residents we should have to put up with it. The creation of a new sports centre directly opposite our home can only exacerbate the problem. Following the receipt of a circular from the school's planning advisors I made contact with them to request further information other than the illegible drawing. The consultant I spoke to (Laura?) undertook to send me elevations from our location / across New South Head Road towards the proposed development. I received nothing and I would comment that the community consultation and communications from this company has been woeful - one double sided A4 pamphlet only the whole time!
We are also concerned that large trees planted on the embankment continue to grow up and block our view. We note from the arborist plan that none of the trees currently impacting our view are proposed to be removed or pruned - we would ask that this be reconsidered with replacement by smaller trees. This has been a matter of concern for some time.I should note we have had at least a good rapport with the school's general manager Anthony on this topic. I am happy to be contacted to discuss our concerns, yours sincerely, Nicolas Jarvis
