Submission	I support the proposed school development on Catherine Fields Road as it responds to the growing needs of the local community. The area has experienced significant residential growth, and the provision of a local school will improve access to education, reduce travel times for families, and ease traffic pressures associated with longer school commutes. The development represents an important investment in local infrastructure and will contribute positively to the long-term social and educational outcomes of the Catherine Fields community.

Submission	Just as provision has been made for the Anglican Church to establish a permanent place on Catherine Fields Road to serve the growing community, it is only fair and reasonable that a new school is likewise afforded a home on the same corridor, and that any objection not grounded in evidence or planning fact should carry no weight in the assessment process. I am a resident of Catherine Field, living on the same street as the proposed Manara College development. Our local area is experiencing rapid residential growth, yet there remains a clear and ongoing shortage of nearby school facilities, placing unnecessary pressure on families and children who already face limited local options. In this context, the proposed Manara College represents a practical and much-needed community asset. Given that the Springfield Road rezoning has already been considered and progressed to facilitate broader development and infrastructure outcomes, there is no reasonable planning basis to deny educational facilities that directly serve the growing local population. Approving Manara College would provide essential capacity, genuine choice, and expanded opportunity for children in Catherine Field and surrounding suburbs, while aligning with the clear intent of planned growth in this precinct.

Submission	I am a resident of Catherine Field Road and I support the proposed school development. Our area is experiencing significant growth, with many young families moving in. A local school is essential infrastructure that will reduce travel times, ease traffic caused by long commutes, and support the long-term needs of the community. The proposal is consistent with what is expected in a developing suburb and will provide clear social and educational benefits. It is also important that this development is assessed on proper planning grounds. There is a perception that some opposition exists not because of the impacts of a school, but because it is a Muslim school. If the proposal were for any other type of school, it is unlikely it would attract the same level of concern. Decisions should be based on planning merit, not on religion or cultural background. I support the approval of this school and believe it will be a positive addition to Catherine Field.

Submission	I am writing to express my strong support and interest in the establishment of a Minarah College campus in Catherine Field. As a growing and diverse community, Catherine Field would greatly benefit from the presence of a reputable, values-based educational institution such as Minarah College. Below are the key reasons why expanding into this area would be highly beneficial for both families and the College. 1. Rapid Population Growth in Catherine Field Catherine Field and the surrounding suburbs—Gledswood Hills, Gregory Hills, Oran Park, and Leppington—are among the fastest-growing regions in South-West Sydney. Thousands of new homes are being built, with many young families moving into the area. A local Minarah College campus would meet the rising demand for quality schooling without families needing to travel long distances. 2. Strong Community Demand for Faith-Based Education Many families in the region actively seek Islamic, values-focused education for their children. Currently, parents must commute to Green Valley, Prestons, Hoxton Park, or even further to access suitable schools. A Catherine Field campus would give families a local option that aligns with their cultural, academic, and religious priorities. 3. Reduced Travel Burden for Students and Parents The commute to the Green Valley campus can be long and difficult, especially during peak traffic times. Opening a campus in Catherine Field would: Reduce daily travel times Improve student wellbeing Increase punctuality and attendance Provide safer and more convenient access to education for local families 4. Positive Contribution to the Community Minarah College is known for strong academic results, character development, and community engagement. Establishing a campus in Catherine Field would bring: Educational excellence to the area Community events and family support programs A safe, nurturing environment for students Increased local employment opportunities The College’s presence would enrich the social fabric of the region. 5. Strategic Location for Future Expansion Catherine Field sits at the centre of major upcoming developments, including the Western Sydney Airport growth corridor. Opening a campus here would position Minarah College for long-term success by servicing a rapidly expanding population. 6. Accessibility for Surrounding Suburbs A Catherine Field campus would not only serve residents of Catherine Field but also nearby suburbs including: Oran Park Gledswood Hills Gregory Hills Leppington Denham Court Harrington Park Emerald Hills This makes it an ideal central location for a second campus. A Minarah College campus in Catherine Field would meet a genuine and growing community need. It would offer families access to high-quality Islamic education close to home, support the wellbeing of students, and strengthen the college’s role as a leading educational institution in South-West Sydney. I kindly ask the governing body to consider this proposal, as it reflects the hopes and needs of many families in our community. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, A concerned and supportive parent

Submission	The establishment of Minarah College in Catherine Fields represents a significant and positive investment in the educational, social and economic future of the local community. The proposed development is designed to deliver high-quality education in a way that complements and strengthens existing infrastructure and neighbourhood amenity. For Muslim families, Minarah College will provide a values-based learning environment that supports academic excellence while enabling students to practise their faith confidently. For non-Muslim families, the College offers additional educational choice and access to a school that promotes strong moral values, discipline, respect, and community service. The development has been carefully planned to minimise impact on local infrastructure and address common community concerns. Comprehensive traffic and transport assessments will be undertaken to manage vehicle flow, peak-hour congestion and pedestrian safety. The College will implement staggered start and finish times, dedicated drop-off and pick-up zones, and clear traffic management plans to reduce pressure on surrounding streets. Investment in internal road circulation, adequate on-site parking, safe pedestrian pathways and bicycle facilities will ensure smoother movement of vehicles and students while encouraging active and safe travel behaviours. Collaboration with local council and transport authorities will be ongoing to ensure any required road upgrades, signage or public transport enhancements are delivered in line with community needs. In addition, modern stormwater management, landscaping and noise mitigation strategies will be incorporated into the design to protect local drainage systems, minimise environmental impact and preserve the amenity of surrounding properties. Through transparent communication, ongoing community consultation and responsible planning, Minarah College is committed to being a respectful neighbour and a positive contributor to the long-term infrastructure sustainability of Catherine Fields.

Submission	To Whom It May Concern, I strongly support the proposed k‐12 Minarah School being built in Catherine Field. The project aims to design a custom-built school campus for education purpose for the new and upcoming neighbouring communities of the school. The proposed school campus will deliver quality education in a very structured and disciplined manner that will be beneficial in grooming the upcoming generation that prevails within the proximity of the school premises. Minarah College at Green Valley has very well demonstrated this through their student performance and has proved itself to be a great place for learning, in fact the Green Valley branch has topped the list of best performing schools in the greater Liverpool area based on the previous years NAPLAN results. Students attending the Catherine Field campus will benefit from the same high quality learning offered at Minarah College Green Valley. Minarah College campus at Green Valley is at full capacity. This is a significant issue for most parents, struggling to manage pick-up and drop-off of their children from multiple schools as the Green Valley branch cannot accommodate more students and the wait list goes for years before a single place become available in any grades. The proposed new campus can offer placements to students on waiting list. Western Sydney families deserved to have convenient access to quality education and the proposed campus would help meet this need. The new school would be a positive addition to Catherine Field and the broader Western Sydney community, where Islamic faith‐based schools are in high demand.

Submission	To Whom It May Concern, I believe that a high quality of learning that the proposed school will offer to students of all faiths, as it currently does in Green Valley campus, will greatly contribute to development of human capital and consequentially greater participation in the workforce. Hence, the proposed school will be a great asset for the Catherine Field community and the broader Western Sydney region. The proposed school design blends well with the rural setting. The scale and bulk of the buildings fits well with the surrounding environment. There are sufficient car parks onsite as well as extensive pick‐up and drop off areas within the school compound. These together with proposed road works and other measures identified in the travel plan will minimize congestion and maintain safety. Key design principles have been applied to ensure the school is a valuable addition to the local neighbourhood:  School buildings are designed to reflect local character.  Native landscaping will complement the semi-rural surrounds.  School buildings are well within the site boundaries to prevent overshadowing on neighbouring properties.  The project strives for the highest Green Star rating obtainable with the Green Building Council Australia, ensuring a positive contribution to local sustainability. The population of the catchment area of the proposed school is likely to increase substantially in the near future; the proposed development is expected to meet just a fraction of the demand for private schooling, supplementing the public schools. Furthermore, the school is committed to sharing the new school facilities with the community when they are not required by the school for example, providing access to the halls and the sports field. Although Minarah College is an Islamic school however, the school is open to students and teachers of all faiths. This project will also help to increase employment in the area by creating many new jobs. I don't believe the school will have a major impact on the local roads as they have an excellent traffic flow plan. In conclusion I support Minarah College being built at Catherine Field as it will be an excellent addition for the local community. The school will provide the highest quality education and teaching facilities to Western Sydney families in a location that is experiencing exponential population growth.

Submission	I am writing to express my strong support for the conditional approval of the proposed Islamic school, Minarah College, in Catherine Fields. My children currently attend Minarah College in Green Valley, and while we value the education and environment provided there, the distance places a significant daily strain on our family. As a resident of Denham Court, the new Catherine Fields campus would be much closer and far more accessible for us. Having a local Islamic school in this area would not only benefit my family, but also many other families in surrounding suburbs who are seeking quality education aligned with their values without long travel times. The establishment of Minarah College in Catherine Fields would serve the growing community, reduce traffic congestion caused by families travelling long distances to Green Valley, and provide children with a safe, supportive, and culturally inclusive learning environment close to home. I respectfully request that the proposed school be granted approval so that families like mine can continue to access quality education within our local area.

Submission	I am writing in strong support of Minarah College’s application to open a second campus in Catherine Field. As a long-standing educational institution, Minarah College has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence, community values, and full compliance with all regulations. The original campus in Green Valley has maintained an outstanding reputation for upholding school policies, adhering to council requirements, and actively contributing to the wellbeing of the local community. The growing population in South-West Sydney has created an urgent need for additional high-quality schooling options. Establishing a new campus in Catherine Field would not only relieve enrolment pressure on surrounding schools but also provide families with more choice and access to a proven, successful educational institution. Minarah College’s strong governance, demonstrated academic outcomes, and dedication to student welfare make it well suited to meet the needs of the area. Concerns about traffic, noise, or community impact should be considered in light of the school’s excellent history of compliance and proactive planning. Minarah College has shown time and again that it works collaboratively with local councils and stakeholders to address concerns responsibly and transparently. I respectfully urge the council to approve Minarah College’s proposal. This development will benefit local families, support educational growth, and enhance community cohesion. The school’s proven track record at its Green Valley campus provides every confidence that a Catherine Field campus will be equally well-managed and positive for the area. Thank you for considering this submission.

Submission	I am writing to express my full and enthusiastic support for the proposal to build a new Islamic school in the Catherine field region. As a local resident and parent/community member, I strongly believe this development is not only necessary but vital for the future wellbeing, education, and growth of our community. Our local area is experiencing continued population growth, particularly with young families, and the current schools are already under increasing pressure with enrolment numbers, capacity, and resources. A new school will provide: • Improved access to quality education close to home • Reduced pressure on surrounding schools • Shorter travel times for families and students • Stronger community connection and engagement • Increased local employment during construction and operation • Long-term positive economic and social benefits for the area Education is the foundation of any strong community. Building this school is an investment not just in infrastructure, but in our children, our families, and the long-term success of the entire region. From a safety perspective, local schooling also reduces traffic congestion, long commutes, and transport risks for families. Children being able to attend school within their own community promotes better attendance, wellbeing, and parent involvement. I fully support this project and strongly encourage the relevant decision-makers to approve and prioritise this development without delay. Our community needs this school, and future generations will benefit greatly from it.

Submission	Hello, I support the building of the Minarah College Community as it will benefit the Muslim community in the area. Not only that, but it will undoubtedly create an overall better community environment within Catherine Fields. By allowing the children of the community to learn about their religion, Islam, they will become proud of their Muslim identity which will decrease the effects of Islamophobia on these individuals. It will also encourage these children to take responsibility for their actions which will help them grow to become respectful community members when they reach adulthood. Thank you for your consideration :)

Submission	I am writing as a long-standing community member, a parent with children who have attended Minarah College in Green Valley and grandchildren who will attend the school in future and an active participant in several community organisations. I wish to express my strong support for the approval of Minarah College’s proposed development currently before the Independent Planning Commission (IPC). Minarah College has served our community for more than two decades, providing quality education, stability, and positive development for thousands of families in southwest Sydney. The proposed expansion is not only necessary—it is overdue given the rapid growth of the region and the increasing demand for school placements. The Urgent Need for Additional School Capacity Long Waiting Lists Affect Local Families As a parent and with future prospective students, I am aware of the children on Minarah College’s waiting list, I understand and know of the experience and challenges many families are facing: the demand for school placements far exceeds the available capacity. The expansion will: • Provide more opportunities for local children to access a high-quality education • Reduce pressure on families seeking culturally aligned schooling • Limit the need to send children to schools far outside our local area Minarah College is a critical education provider for families who rely on stability, strong values, and academic excellence. Responding to Regional Population Growth Our region is one of the fastest-growing areas in NSW. Existing schools—public and private—are becoming overcrowded. The proposed development allows Minarah College to responsibly and sustainably meet this demand without compromising quality or safety. Positive Impact on the Community – A Strong Contributor to Social Cohesion As someone involved in several community organisations, I have witnessed firsthand Minarah College’s active engagement with local groups, charities, interfaith initiatives, and community events. The College strengthens social unity by encouraging: • Community service • Respectful cultural engagement • Support for vulnerable families • Positive youth development The expansion will increase the College’s capacity to continue these contributions. Enhanced Facilities That Benefit the Community Improved learning spaces, sporting facilities, and meeting areas have flow-on benefits for the broader community by enabling: • Partnerships with local organisations • Extracurricular programs • After-school initiatives and sporting activities • Community events and volunteering This development is not just an investment in a school—it is an investment in the entire community. Compliance With Planning Requirements and Responsible Design Traffic and Safety Improvements The College has already implemented and committed to further measures addressing traffic concerns, including: • Staggered pickup and drop-off times • Increased on-site parking • Improved traffic circulation within the campus • Collaboration with traffic consultants and authorities These measures will ensure student safety and ease local congestion. Environmental and Urban Design Considerations The proposal respects the character of the area and follows responsible planning principles by providing: • Sustainable construction practices • Landscaping to maintain visual amenity • Noise and environmental management • Appropriate scale and height consistent with local planning controls The design is thoughtful, community-focused, and compliant with regulatory expectations. Public Interest and Educational Benefit Supporting Local Educational Outcomes The development will provide: • Modern classrooms • STEM and specialist learning facilities • Improved accessibility for students with additional needs • Spaces that support wellbeing, safety, and contemporary education standards As a parent, these improvements are essential for ensuring our children receive the best possible education in safe, modern, and inspiring facilities. Alignment with Broader NSW Education and Infrastructure Goals This project directly aligns with NSW priorities for: • Expanding social infrastructure • Supporting growing families • Encouraging inclusion and diversity • Improving educational access and equity The public benefit is clear and significant. Conclusion As a parent, a community organisation member, and a resident who deeply values the role Minarah College plays in our area, I strongly support the approval of this development. The project: • Addresses critical demand for school placements • Improves community access to education • Supports local growth and cohesion • Complies with planning, traffic, and environmental standards • Delivers long-term benefits for families, students, and the broader region I respectfully urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve the proposed development so that Minarah College can continue to serve the community with excellence, integrity, and the capacity needed to meet future demand. Thank you for considering this submission.

Submission	I wish to express my strong support for the proposed Minarah College campus at Catherine Field. This project represents a timely and important investment in one of the fastest-growing regions in Western Sydney, where population expansion has significantly outpaced the availability of suitable schooling options. Local families are already feeling the pressure of limited enrolment spaces, long waiting lists, and the need to travel considerable distances to access quality education. A new, purpose-built K–12 school in Catherine Field will directly address this shortage and give parents genuine choice for their children’s learning. Western Sydney’s rapid development has created a diverse and vibrant community, but it has also brought with it rising demand for modern educational infrastructure. The new Minarah College campus will provide a safe, inclusive, and future-focused environment designed to meet the expectations of current and future families. Its contemporary facilities, thoughtful master planning, and commitment to preparing students for the evolving workforce will position the school as an asset not just for Catherine Field, but for neighbouring suburbs as well. Minarah College has earned a strong reputation in Green Valley as a responsible, community-minded neighbour with a consistent record of academic achievement, student wellbeing initiatives, and positive engagement with local residents and stakeholders. The College’s established history of operating responsibly gives confidence that the same high standards will be applied at Catherine Field. The school’s values, governance, and approach to community consultation demonstrate that it takes its responsibilities seriously and understands the importance of contributing positively to the local environment. Beyond meeting educational demand, the new campus will also bring social and economic benefits to the region—creating employment opportunities, supporting local businesses, and providing spaces and programs that can enrich the broader community. A high-quality school with modern facilities often becomes a community hub, and Minarah College has shown through its existing campus that it is committed to building constructive and long-lasting relationships with residents and local organisations. For these reasons, I believe approving the Minarah College Catherine Field campus is not only appropriate but essential. It will help ensure that the area grows in a balanced and sustainable way, with infrastructure that truly serves the needs of families now and into the future. The project reflects a forward-looking vision for education in Western Sydney, and I strongly endorse its progression.

Submission	I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed construction of Minarah College in Catherine Field. This project represents a positive and much-needed addition to the local community for the following reasons: 1. Meeting Educational Demand Catherine Field and the surrounding South-West Sydney region are rapidly growing areas with a rising population of young families. There is an urgent need for more schooling options to accommodate this growth. Minarah College will help meet increasing enrolment demand and ease pressure on existing schools. 2. Offering Diversity and Choice in Education The establishment of an Islamic school provides families with greater freedom to choose an educational environment aligned with their cultural and religious values. Educational diversity enriches the broader community and ensures all families have equitable access to suitable schooling options. 3. Positive Community Contribution Minarah College has a strong record of academic achievement, student wellbeing, and community engagement. Its presence in Catherine Field will enhance social cohesion, provide local employment opportunities, and foster a respectful and multicultural environment. 4. Reduced Travel and Increased Safety Many families currently travel long distances every day to access Islamic schooling. A local campus will significantly reduce travel times, congestion on major roads, and the environmental impact associated with long commutes. This creates safer, more sustainable school travel for students. 5. Thoughtful Planning and Local Benefit The proposed development includes modern facilities, improved road access, and infrastructure that can benefit the wider community. The planning has clearly considered traffic management, environmental impacts, and neighbourhood integration. 6. Supporting Community Needs in a Growing Region As the South-West corridor continues to expand, investing in educational infrastructure is essential. Approving Minarah College will support the long-term needs of the region and contribute to balanced community development. For these reasons, I strongly support the approval of Minarah College in Catherine Field. This project will bring significant educational, social, and community benefits, and I believe it will be a valuable and positive addition to the area. Thank you for considering this submission.

Submission	Minarah College Green Valley has taught and nurtured a variety of students from the Liverpool area and beyond for over two decades. Within that time it has gained an impeccable reputation for providing quality education to its students in a caring manner that considers the needs and interests of the school community whilst still being sensitive and considerate of the broader Green Valley community. It is for these reasons I believe that the new Minarah college campus at Catherine Field will make a positive and much needed addition to the local community.

Submission	Dear Independent Planning Committee, I write to express my support for the proposed new campus of Minarah College at Catherine Fields. I believe this development would bring significant long-term benefits to the local community, its families, and future students. Below are the reasons for my support: Improved access to quality education for families living in the area: A new campus nearby means more local families will have access to a faith-based, values-driven education without needing to commute long distances. This supports community cohesion and reduces travel times for students and parents. Community growth & stability: As Catherine Fields and surrounding suburbs grow, so too does the need for more school places. A new campus will meet rising demand and help avoid overcrowding in existing schools. Positive social and cultural contribution: Minarah College brings a reputation of inclusive education, and having a campus in Catherine Fields could foster community diversity, provide additional learning opportunities (academic, sporting, cultural), and serve as a hub for families in the area. The school is willing to share the facilities with the wider community when not in use. Long-term benefits for local infrastructure: A school can contribute positively to local development, supporting infrastructure improvements, and potentially raising community engagement and stability. I understand that some objections may have been filed. However, the school is showing willingness to work with the community and reduce any negative impact it may have on the surrounding neighbours, for example, reducing the student population so the pressure on the public infrastructure is decreased and the new design is increasing setback from close by properties to prevent overshadowing. Thank you for considering my submission. Kind regards, Supporter for Minarah College Catherine Fields Campus

Submission	Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my full support for the proposed school development. After reviewing the details of the project, I believe this development will offer significant benefits to the community. A new school will provide much-needed access to quality education, reduce overcrowding in existing facilities, and create a safer and more supportive learning environment for students. In addition, this development will contribute positively to the local area by creating jobs, supporting families, and enhancing the long-term growth of our community. Investing in education is one of the most effective ways to strengthen a neighbourhood, and this proposal aligns well with those goals. For these reasons, I strongly support the school development proposal and look forward to seeing the project progress. Kind regards, M.Y

Submission	To whom it may concern, My name is Israa Al Jaber, and I am a mother of three children. I am also an Accredited Social Worker employed by a not-for-profit organisation in the Macarthur region. I am writing to express my full support for the proposed new Minarah College campus in Catherine Field. As a former student who attended Minarah College throughout my high school years and graduated in 2013, I have experienced firsthand the school’s positive impact on its students and families. Today, two of my children attend the Green Valley campus, and the school continues to bring nothing but positivity, stability, and growth into our lives. As a parent, it is deeply reassuring to know that my children are in an environment that aligns with our values, beliefs, and aspirations. I also have friends living in Oran Park and surrounding suburbs who are genuinely excited about the prospect of a new campus opening closer to their homes. For many families, this development would reduce travel time, increase access to quality education, and provide a school community that reflects their cultural and religious needs. Minarah College is one of the few schools that truly prioritises the wellbeing of its students and parents. Their fees remain among the lowest in NSW, which is a tremendous help during this challenging cost-of-living period. The school has also supported families through initiatives such as uniform vouchers, easing the financial burden of preparing children for school. Without this assistance, many families — including mine — would have struggled to keep their children enrolled. In addition, the college runs a daily breakfast club, ensuring that every child starts their day ready to learn. They also run after school classes for those who wish to benefit from the extra support. This level of care and compassion is rare, and it reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing not just students’ academic growth but their overall wellbeing. The new campus in Catherine Field will create opportunities for many more students to access a supportive, values-based, and affordable education. It will serve a rapidly growing community and provide families with a school they can trust and rely on. For these reasons, I strongly support the establishment of the Minarah College Catherine Field campus and believe it will be a vital asset to the community. Sincerely, Israa Al Jaber

Submission	The development of an Islamic private school in the Camden area is both timely and essential, given the rapidly growing Muslim population driven by the expanding housing developments along the Camden Valley Way corridor. Many Muslim families are choosing to settle in these beautiful suburbs because of their affordability, accessibility, and family-friendly environment, creating a clear need for community infrastructure that reflects and supports this growth—just as Anglican and Catholic schools respond to the needs of their respective communities in the Camden LGA. At present, the nearest Islamic schools are located in Austral and are operating at capacity with long waiting lists, leaving local families with limited options. Establishing an Islamic private school in Camden would provide a vital faith-based educational choice for this thriving and diverse Islamic Australian community. The majority of these families are hard-working, educated professionals who strongly value high-quality private schooling for their children. As someone familiar with many families in the Camden LGA actively seeking a closer Islamic school, it is evident that a new Islamic private school would not only meet a significant demand but also enrich the educational landscape of the area. We are a multicultural community; we will thrive if we show this in practice too.

Submission	Submission to the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) Project: Minarah College (SSD-30759158) Position: Strong Opposition Due Date: 5:00 PM, Tuesday, 10 February 2026 To the Commissioners, I am writing to formally object to the proposed Minarah College development at 268–278 Catherine Fields Road. This proposal is incompatible with the existing semi-rural character of Catherine Field and poses significant risks to the local community. My objections are based on the following critical issues: Catherine Fields Road is a narrow rural road without kerbs, gutters, or adequate shoulders. It cannot safely accommodate the projected 700+ daily vehicle trips. The high dependency on private vehicles (up to 90% of students) will create severe bottlenecks at the single entry point on Catherine Field Road. There is a complete lack of footpaths and lighting, making transport for students impossible and dangerous The proposed 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM operating hours, including weekend use, will destroy the tranquility of this rural area. A 224-week construction timeline with noise levels reaching 86dB is unreasonable for a residential-adjacent site. Relying on an on-site wastewater treatment plant for nearly 1,000 people raises serious environmental and health concerns regarding runoff into neighbouring properties. Conclusion The minor reduction in student numbers does not resolve the fundamental land-use conflict. This large-scale educational facility is being proposed in a location that lacks the essential infrastructure to support it safely or sustainably. I urge the Commission to refuse this application in its entirety. Sincerely,

Submission	Dear Sir/Madam My name is Michael Dimech and I am opposed to the new school that is proposed for Catherine Field Road, Catherine Field. I do not believe the area is suitable to have a school due to zoning, infrastructure and Flooding. The following concerns also need to be addressed and resolved before any school is built in the area. 1) Infrastructure - Roads. The proposed location Catherine Field Road is a major Thorofare for traffic and is used by many vehicles including heavy vehicles that reside in the area. Catherine Field Road, Barry Ave, Allenby Ave, Deepfield road, Springfield Road and Chisholm Road are all in poor state of repair and any increase in traffic will see these roads deteriorate. Who is responsible to maintain these roads? Will the increase in traffic related to the school contribute to the road maintenance or upgrade. As Catherine Field Road will now have a 40 k/h speed limit many vehicles will begin using other roads namely Chisholm rd. / Deepfield rd, as a rat-run. Also, there are NO footpaths or bike lanes along any roads in this area so any Parents/Children walking or bike riding will be at high risk. 2) Parking. Will enough parking be provided for all Teachers / pupils & visitors including special events such as Christmas / Easter / End of year events that may occur as any vehicles parking on the streets will be placed in a dangerous situation as little room exists on many of these roads and any rains will result in further danger as vehicles possibly getting bogged / people slipping again due to poor road width. 3) Drop-off, Pick-up Has enough been provided here to as the real world has shown there needs to be minimum 2 lanes as parents come to pick up their children some will take longer than others, and these pick-ups, drop-off lanes will be clogged very quickly resulting in traffic overflowing onto Catherine Field Road. 3) Sewer. Another concern is sewer. Since every property in the area has their own septic system due to no town system how will a system for a school be consider hygienic since the location is part flood zone and no doubt the septic will be located in the lowest part of the property. 4) Hour of operation We were informed the school will operate 7 days a week up to 10pm. Any people living within close proximity who moved into the area moved into a Rural location, NOT an urban location. No other businesses operate these hours in this area. Allowing these business hours threatens the lifestyle of those who moved into the area. This includes excess noise, extra traffic and general disruption to the area. I feel it is total inappropriate to have ANY school or business in this area and total object. I have never made any political donations to any political party, ever. Signed,

Submission	I oppose the building of this school in this location as it is being built in a residential area and the road going in and out of the area is narrow and not capable of carrying the traffic that a school would generate. It would also be very challenging for me to exit my street and turn right onto Catherine Field Road with the increased traffic, particularly in the mornings and afternoons. There is not enough infrastructure to support a school, sewerage would be an issue and the area floods. Having a school there with all the cars it would attract would take the feel of the suburb away and change it irretrievably.

It cannot safely accommodate the projected 700+ daily vehicle trips. • Safety Risks: The high dependency on private vehicles (up to 90% of students) will create severe bottlenecks at the single entry point and critical intersections like Camden Valley Way. • Pedestrian Danger: There is a complete lack of footpaths and lighting, making active transport for students impossible and dangerous. 2. Significant Noise and Amenity Loss • Inaccurate Data: The noise assessments were conducted during COVID-19 lockdowns and are missing data from critical logging locations, making them an unreliable basis for approval. • Operational Disturbance: The proposed 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM operating hours, including weekend use, will destroy the tranquility of this rural area. • Construction Noise: A 224-week construction timeline with noise levels reaching 86dB is unreasonable for a residential-adjacent site. 3. Inadequate Site Servicing • Wastewater Management: The site currently lacks connection to Sydney Water’s sewerage system. The reliance on an on-site wastewater treatment plant for nearly 1,000 people raises serious environmental and health concerns regarding runoff into neighboring properties. • Flooding Concerns: The proposed earthworks and increased hardstand area will exacerbate existing local flooding issues. Conclusion The minor reduction in student numbers does not resolve the fundamental land-use conflict. This large-scale educational facility is being proposed in a location that lacks the essential infrastructure to support it safely or sustainably. I urge the Commission to refuse this application in its entirety. Sincerely, Resident

Submission	Dear Commissioner , I wish to formally object to the proposed Minarah project and the establishment of a school within our street Catherine Field Road , Catherine Field . This proposal is fundamentally inappropriate for our location and demonstrates a clear disregard for the existing rural residential environment . Our street is a quiet rural residential area and is entirely unsuitable to accommodate a development of this nature. The road infrastructure is wholly inadequate to manage the significant increase in traffic that a school would generate. The street is effectively one way in and one way out, with no capacity for traffic dispersal. There are no footpaths, shoulders, gutters, or adequate road width to safely manage vehicles, pedestrians, or school-related traffic. As a result, the development would inevitably cause traffic congestion and back-ups extending onto Camden Valley Way. The absence of footpaths and street lighting presents a serious safety risk, particularly for students, pedestrians, and residents. Increased vehicle movements combined with poor visibility and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure would significantly heighten the risk of accidents and injury and a seriously unsafe environment . The proposed operating hours of 7:00am to 9:00pm, including weekends, are entirely incompatible with the existing residential character of the area. Such extended hours would result in ongoing disturbance and would destroy the quiet, peaceful nature and community atmosphere that residents currently enjoy. In addition, construction noise and ongoing operational noise would further disrupt the amenity of our street, causing sustained disturbance and materially diminish our residents quality of life . Furthermore, our area has a history of serious flooding. The extensive earthworks required for this development would likely exacerbate existing drainage and flooding issues, posing further risk to surrounding properties and infrastructure. This risk has not been adequately addressed and should alone be sufficient grounds for refusal . Placing a school in the middle of our quiet rural residential street is a planning failure . The proposal is unsafe , poorly sited and totally incompatible with the existing infrastructure , character and capacity of the area. For these reasons, we strongly oppose the proposal. Once again we reiterate the introduction of a school into the middle of our quiet rural residential street is inappropriate, poorly planned, and fails to consider the safety, infrastructure limitations, and wellbeing of the existing community and we urge you to reject proposal outright ! Kind Regards

Submission	To the Commissioners, I am writing to formally object to the proposed Minarah College development at 268–278 Catherine Fields Road. This proposal is incompatible with the existing semi-rural character of Catherine Field and poses significant risks to the local community. My objections are based on the following critical issues: 1. Unacceptable Traffic and Safety Impacts • Infrastructure Deficit: Catherine Fields Road is a narrow rural road without kerbs, gutters, or adequate shoulders. It cannot safely accommodate the projected 700+ daily vehicle trips. • Safety Risks: Most students will attend by private vehicles (up to 90% of students) this will create severe bottlenecks at the single entry point and critical intersections like Camden Valley Way. • Pedestrian Danger: There is a complete lack of footpaths and lighting, making active transport for students impossible and dangerous. 2. Significant Noise and Amenity Loss • Inaccurate Data: The noise assessments were conducted during COVID-19 lockdowns and are missing data from critical logging locations, making them an unreliable basis for approval. • Operational Disturbance: The proposed 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM operating hours, including weekend use, will destroy the tranquility of this rural area. • Construction Noise: A 224-week construction timeline with noise levels reaching 86dB is unreasonable for a residential-adjacent site. 3. Inadequate Site Servicing • Wastewater Management: Relying on an on-site wastewater treatment plant for nearly 1,000 people raises serious environmental and health concerns regarding runoff into neighbouring properties. • Flooding Concerns: The area is prone to flooding, earthworks will increase this issue. Conclusion A facility of this size in a location that has no essential infrastructure cannot be supported. The minor reduction in student numbers does not resolve its sustainability, safety or the fundamental land-use conflict. I urge the Commission to refuse this application in its entirety. Sincerely

Submission	To the Commissioners, My name is Alex and I am writing to personally object to the current development application of the Minarah College development at 268–278 Catherine Fields Road. As a 35 year veteran of the Catherine field/ Leppington area I strongly object as the proposal i believe is not in keeping with the existing semi-rural character of my area. It is based on the following reasons although not exclusively. 1. Poor Traffic and poor pedestrian Safety and traffic bottlenecks • Bad roads: Catherine Fields Road is a narrow rural road without kerbs, gutters, or adequate shoulders. It cannot safely accommodate the projected 700+ daily vehicle trips and in fact applies to Chisholm road and Springfield roads also as vehicular traffic to avoid bottlenecks will use this road to get their children to school. This will overload the road and cause significant risks to those who live close to the school on this road. Due to no lighting or curbs and guttering on any of the roads mentioned it is a significant safety risk to the school children and adults. There is significant litigation risk to Camden Council if anyone was to be hurt due to these poor conditions! I don’t have the money to pay exorbitant council rates to fight any court cases. • Road Safety Risks: This DA has in its verbatim an acknowledgment of the high dependency on private vehicles (up to 90% of students). As I’ve said in earlier submissions this will create severe bottlenecks at the school entry point (one only) on Catherine field road. The kiss and drop is far too small as can be seen on the Unity College at Austral fourth ave College. Because most students will be dropped of around 830-0900 am the left in lane onto Catherine field road will hold up peak hour traffic on Camden Valley Way and is therefore a major collision risk. Cars will undoubtedly then use the Deepfields road entry and cause similar problems. Catherine field road and Chisholm roads cannot cope with the increased traffic numbers. 2. Significant Noise and Amenity Loss The noise assessments were carried out during COVID-19 lockdowns. The data relied upon is now outdated and therefore useless in determining a DA’s approval or otherwise. The noise that will be generated during construction is advised to reach 86db and during night time will also be very High and over the weekends. We are used to little or no noise 24/7 in this area and is unfair to now impose this on us. We have dutifully paid our rates to keep this area as tranquil as possible. 3. Timeline is improper This area is yet to be developed. If this is to go ahead wait for the infrastructure to catch up first and then create a structured and logical community development incorporating all necessary utilities and ammenities. The new school, MINARAH college is not in keeping with the rural nature at present of the Catherine Field area zoned RU4 primary production ie the production of food. We the residents are all aware in future that we are part of the Catherine Field North part of the South West Growth Centers SWGA. The development of the school without the corresponding development of the Catherine field North area at large will result in a disjointed and potentially dangerous situation. If it is allowed to go ahead it should be developed strategically and holistically with all required housing and industrial and shopping and entertainment precincts at large. The area has not been rezoned and as such any schools and early learning centres placements may change in the area and if built now will be in inappropriate places of the master plan. The placement of this school will probably unduly influence the placement of ammenities and other infrastructure required for the SWGA, and the resources that are necessary are already stretched will not go far enough without significant waste. 4. Inadequate Site Servicing The site currently is not connected to Sydney Water’s residential sewerage system. An on-site wastewater treatment plant for nearly 1,000 people raises serious environmental and health risks regarding runoff and ground water contamination for neighbouring properties. This will be exacerbated due to the handstand area of the school and also will increase water runoff and thereby flooding to down stream properties in major storms. It doesn’t take a genius or reference to reports to figure this out. Councils localised current flood maps will be outdated if this goes ahead. Conclusion The minor reduction in student numbers does not resolve the fundamental land-use conflict. This large-scale educational facility is being proposed in a location and at a time that lacks the essential infrastructure to support it. I urge the Commission to please stop the Minarah College development application in its entirety. Please retain our rural tranquil nature of living that we chose. Sincerely,

Submission	I object to the building of an Islamic school in this rural farmland area. After the Bondi terror attacks it is just more proof that Islam does not belong here. But besides for that we do not have the infrastructure for it. The area is farm land. It has not been released for development so how can such a large school be developed. We still all run on septic and we are in an area that floods and has atrocious roads full of pot holes so bad the area is nick named pothole central. The roads could not handle the extra traffic it would create and it would not benefit the local community as most locals in this area are catholic or have no religious beliefs.

Submission	I don’t believe this proposal will benefit. If the current Green Valley school doesnt have buses with so many stidents travelling from afar. Why are they proposing one bus to bring students from two train stations when the round trip will take 45 minutes in peak hour. The flooding hasn’t been addressed & nearby neighbours will be impacted. The direct neighbours will not be able to turn right out of their own driveway. How will they manage the morning & afternoon peak with parents entering the carpark from tow different directions on Catherine Field road. I do not believe that Catherine Field road has the infrastructure yet to support a development of this size

Submission	The area is not suitable for a large school, the infrastructure is not there, no footbaths, roads have pot holes and gravel edges, sewerage is still septic. Another concern would be the high volume of traffic to this rural area which is not designed for this kind of volume, It will cause chaos to the local community. The roads are only going to get worse with this high volume of cars and safety will be a major concern, especially when children are involved. I can imagine how many cars will be lining up to pick up kids, especially considering the quantity of 900 students who are going to be at the premises. How's this rural area going to handle this mass volume of cars and busses, it doesn't make sense. Imagine the noise that this will bring to this peaceful rural community. This college will have a very negative impact to this area and to the locals and not to forget the unpractical and dangerous aspects that come from an area that is still rural with no proper development and infrastructure. Bad idea?

Submission	The proposed school development does not align with the established objectives of the RU4 Primary Production Small Lots zone. This zoning is specifically designed to support activities that contribute to the long-term viability of primary production, ensuring that land is utilised in a way that supports agricultural and other rural activities essential for local economies. The key objectives of the RU4 Primary Production zoning include: Enabling sustainable primary industry and other compatible uses: The RU4 zoning is tailored to prioritise sustainable primary industries, particularly agricultural enterprises that rely on smaller lots for intensive forms of production. This sustainability aspect not only focuses on environmental preservation but also on ensuring that agricultural businesses can thrive over the long term. By allowing activities that are compatible with primary production, the zoning seeks to ensure that rural land remains dedicated to food production, resource cultivation, and other essential rural industries. Encouraging diversity and employment opportunities in relation to primary industry enterprises: Another critical objective of the RU4 zoning is to foster employment opportunities within the realm of primary industries. This includes promoting enterprises that are smaller in scale but require a more intensive level of production. These enterprises might include niche agricultural ventures such as organic farming, specialty crops, or intensive horticulture, which can generate significant employment in rural areas. By encouraging a variety of agricultural activities, the zone is designed to support a diverse and resilient local economy that can offer jobs to the rural population. Minimising conflicts between land uses within the zone and adjacent zones: A significant concern in land-use planning is the potential for conflicts between different types of land uses. The RU4 zone aims to minimise these conflicts by ensuring that the activities permitted within the zone are compatible with one another and with neighbouring zones. For example, allowing residential or industrial developments in a primarily agricultural area could lead to issues such as noise complaints, odor concerns, or water resource disputes. By restricting incompatible uses, the zoning aims to maintain a balance where primary industries can operate without interference, while neighbouring land uses can coexist peacefully. The proposed school development, however, appears inconsistent with these objectives. Firstly, it does not contribute to the sustainability of primary industries. Schools, by their nature, are not part of the agricultural or rural economy and do not directly support the land's primary purpose of food production or resource management. In fact, the construction of a school on land designated for primary production could potentially limit the availability of land for agricultural enterprises, particularly for those that require smaller lots for intensive production. The presence of a school might also introduce infrastructural needs—such as roads, utilities, and parking—that are not compatible with the long-term sustainability of agricultural uses. Secondly, the proposed development does not foster employment opportunities related to primary industry enterprises. While a school does provide employment opportunities, these jobs are in the education sector, not in the realm of primary production. This runs counter to the zoning's objective of encouraging diverse employment within the agricultural sector. The introduction of a non-agricultural enterprise like a school could divert focus from the goal of supporting small-scale, intensive primary industries that are better suited to the RU4 zoning. he proposed school development, however, appears inconsistent with these objectives. Firstly, it does not contribute to the sustainability of primary industries. Schools, by their nature, are not part of the agricultural or rural economy and do not directly support the land's primary purpose of food production or resource management. In fact, the construction of a school on land designated for primary production could potentially limit the availability of land for agricultural enterprises, particularly for those that require smaller lots for intensive production.

Submission	I object to the proposal. This is a rural area. The school does not belong in this area. There are plenty of areas that have already been released for developed where it could be built. We do not have the infrastructure to support the school and all the extra traffic that it would bring. Our roads are terrible as it is, we still run on septic systems and the area floods. The size of the school and the hours of operation ie. weekends is not acceptable either. I also don’t believe we have the numbers in Islamic population to support an Islamic school in the area. This means the students will be coming from out of the area and will be of no benefit to the local community. The large school will take away the rural feel of the area.

Submission	Catherine Field, Oran Park and surrounding suburbs are not being developed to allow for increased traffic in the roads that currently serve the area and future roads to be developed will just add to congestion. School hours are the busiest in the area with limited public transport and a need for parents to drive as well as other people just trying to get to work. These suburbs can not afford any more congestion from any school of any kind or any more major businesses.

Submission	We are small quiet country village rural area; the area doesn't have the infrastructure to accommodate a massive development/school like this. Our small roads won't be able to handle the influx of thousands of cars and bus, traffic for the local will be horrendous especially pick up and drop off times. We don't have sewage so with so many people in one area, especially when it floods and raw sewage travels down to the small local creeks in the area.

Submission	Given Catherine Field is still a traditional "rural" suburb offering all local residents a peaceful, safe and family friendly community atmosphere, the idea of have a K12 school built in the area seems totally out of character with that described. The other key factors that seemingly continue to be overlooked or ignored are: 1. Value to local community? One has to feel it is near zero as by Minarah's own submissions state that some 80 - 90% of attendees will come from out of area (not local surrounding suburbs but much further afield) 2. While reworked submissions state the development and subsequent attendance by works and students of the school will still number some 200-300 then rising to some 900-1000 at all stages end. a. The noise generated will certainly shatter the quite, peaceful and safety living qualities currently being enjoyed by the local community. Further, the times and days proposed for operation means that no-one in the area gets any respite from the noise that will be generated. b. During heavy storms, Catherine Field Rd, specifically that section where the school is proposed to be built, is notorious for flooding whenever there are storms and heavy rain fall. Given the design of the school, specifically roof spans, the lack of (i.e. only current rudimentary) storm water management in the area, one has to the expect and accept that Catherine Field Rd will be totally inundated AS will the properties across the road during any storms and down pours. Who is then liable for damages to the road and properties? c. Catherine Field Rd at best can only be described as a pot-holed mess. In barely struggles with through traffic now. I fail to understand how it will cope with a further 200 - 1000 vehicles travelling through in the morning & afternoons. i) Will the school pay for a full major road upgrade to 4 lanes (not referenced in the submission, but suggestion for a service lane for school access) - totally insufficient, unless local residents are to accept they may not be able to get into their homes due to kilometer long traffic ques. Further, the reality is that the full length of Catherine Field Rd should be fully upgraded to 4 lanes, is Minarah College offer to pay for this OR will this be left to Council (local rate payers)? ii) Noting given location of the school, limited local transport, number of access service roads to Catherine Field (Springfield, Chisholm & Deepfield & Allenby Rds, noting the current road surface quality are as per Catherine Field Rd and in some cases worse). Will these also be upgraded and who will pay for this? iv) To the final point of the roads - it is Safety and Duty of Care - again who will be responsible and liable every time a student is struck? I make this point given the current volume of traffic, that also as would be experienced if the school was to go ahead and not just cars but the 5 - 50 ton trucks travelling through these roads (doing the rat run) hourly / daily. 3. Lack of existing critical Infrastructure i.e. Stormwater manage as stated early. i) Sewerage non currently available and from recent SWC notice, not proposed to be put in place for another 5 - 7 years. That in mind, I highly doubt the suggested on-site treatment plant will suffice, and more importantly land available for treated discharge (ground playing fields - really?) will non doubt be saturated in short space of time, couple with storm rain I suspect in time there may be an increase in reported chemical / bacterial infections (kids on the grounds playing sports having cuts or abrasions), likewise the spread to down-stream family properties. ii) Town Clean Water - pressure. Noticed drops over past 15 years already, given the many surrounding housing sites developed. As stated early, I cannot see any tangible value this school, or any other development of this scale or type, at this time will bring to the Catherine Field suburb and its residents. Further, in this case it appears that this college has seized on the opportunity to purchase parcels of land cheaply (relative to the proposed development and revenues it will generate), leaving all other necessary external supporting infrastructure issues to be addressed, developed and paid for by others (State and local council and all funded by the public taxes).

Submission	The proposed development is not appropriate for the area. Our roads have no curb and guttering. The are not of a standard to allow for the increased flow of traffic related to this large development. There are no foot paths and no bike tracks, no regular bus/train access so it would be assumed that most children will be driven to the school with 1 lane in and 1 lane out. There is no facility for a turning bay to the school to attempt to reduce the impact of large volumes of traffic all congregating at school start times. You only have to look at the school on 4th avenue Austral to get the idea of volumes of traffic and the chaos that it creates. There is no sewerage system in place in catherine field. We all have our own septic system. The proposed sewerage system for the school is inadequate for the over 1000 people that will be on the property. The amended sewerage system has it competing with sporting grounds. It is unhygenic for children to be around that type of fluid run off. The hours that the school is to operate (although amended )are still excessive and not indicative of just school activities. No school run on the weekend but this school is planning on being open until late into the night on weekends. There is no benefit to the surrounding population who will be bearing the brunt of the impact of the development and the operation of a such a school. All in all we will be extremely disappointed if this proposal is allowed to go ahead as it will irrevocably destroy the nature of the area. We are a rural area not a high density development area. We have plenty of development nearby that would be a much better fit for this development.

Submission	Since Springfield road has direct access to Oran park it has increased the amount of traffic at peak times , we are classified as semi rural however it is apparent with peak hour traffic this is no longer the case. Exiting my street that meets Springfield road has become dangerous as vehicles are exceeding the speed limit as using Springfield road to avoid Camden valley way. Traffic queues in the morning from Springfield turning on to Catherine field - roundabouts and traffic lights would be needed to safely navigate the intersection and peak hour traffic

Submission	I have lived in Catherine Field since 1989 when my husband and I purchased land in Heatherfield Close close to the proposed school. We live in a rural area that does not have sewer or curb and guttering, our roads regularly damaged by the flow of heavy traffic passing through the area. The roads are flooded during any significant rainfall and often closed to traffic as a result. There is little public transport in Catherine Field which means that most students will be driven to school by parents, increasing the already high amount of traffic on our local, rural roads. As our street is close to the proposed school the need to use the area to park and walk will occur. There is no curb or guttering, after heavy rain the sides of the road become wet and cars are easily bogged. The school will require some form of sewage plant or regular removal of sewage which can flood the road and neighbours land if it were to escape. The infrastructure required for a school of this size does not currently exist within Catherine Field, it is my opinion that a final decision by the Planning Commission should be made as quickly as possible. And should be against the proposal.
