Proposed New Education Precinct

A new school is planned north of the Oran Park Town Centre.  The facility will be delivered and operated by Regis Education and will comprise a new co-educational school catering for approximately 2,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12, including an onsite 90 place centre-based child care facility.

The site is located on the doorstep of the Pondicherry Lake Precinct and in close proximity to the Oran Park Town Centre with access to a good pedestrian / cycle path network.  A school has been proposed in this general location for many years through the Oran Park Indicative Layout Plan.

The proposed Regis Education, Sporting and Recreation Precinct will fulfill the long term vision for Oran Park – creating a vibrant, accessible and liveable community centred around walkable neighbourhoods including a strong focus on employment and lifelong education.

The Education Precinct will create a new co-educational and state-of-the-art facility consisting of the following:

• Centre-based child care facility: licensed for maximum 90 children
• Junior School Precinct: Kindergarten to Year 4 (500 students)
• Middle School Precinct: Year 5 to Year 8 (500 to 700 students)
• Senior School Precinct: Year 9 to Year 12 (800 students)

The Precinct Development will include:

• An outdoor 30 metre pool as well as an undercover Learn to Swim complex
• Performing Arts Centre
• Tennis, futsal and netball courts
• Gymnasium Multi-Purpose Hall – including specialist dance and gymnastics areas, exercise and weight rooms, 4 basketball courts suitable for other sports
• Library
• Administration building and caretaker/manager’s residence

The Education Precinct envisages the joint and shared use of school facilities providing controlled community access when not required for school use.

The proposed Education Precinct supports the need for additional education infrastructure and alternative schooling options for Sydney’s rapidly growing South West Growth Area and Camden LGA specifically.

The proposed design of the Education Precinct will complement the surrounding residential development and will be of high quality, ensuring exceptional learning and teaching environments.

Next Steps

As this is a State Significant Development (SSD) with the application to be determined by the Department of Planning and Environment (DPIE), the first step in the process is to request a Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) to help prepare documents for the SSD Application.

The SEARs application has now been lodged and once a SEARs has been issued by DPIE, documentation can then be prepared for the SSD application.

All SSD applications are publicly exhibited with provision for community input.
