Councillors,l wish to address some of the main concerns that Broulee residents have about
this 'Planning Report'
l.Parking and Access Code on Pages 81 and 82
It is hard to believe that anyone could take seriously the assertion by ESC that L000 vehicles per day
could be accommodated by Caitlin Crescent. The 'Auspec Criteria' bears no relavence to Caitlin
Crescent and the tortuous approach via the back streets of Broulee.

system presents Train St. as the only access to the College.There is no mention anywhere of Caitlin
Crescent. I quote: "The proposed College has good access to the 'higher order' classified RTA
network of State & Regional Roads,and does not require the use of local residential streets to access
the site." Two other statements are worthy of mention : "The servicing/maintenance requirements
of the school are to be accommodated by a perimeter service road which will enable maintenance to
access all areas of the school." & "ln summary,the proposed college will not have any unacceptable
parking or service implications."
2.Advertisement and Notification Code on Page 81.
The recently constructed Language Arts Center was not advertised or notified
to
residents in Caitlin
Crescent West.Their homes are in very close proximity to the building so they have issues with noise
and night lites.They were denied the right to make a submission. The inappropriate placement of
this building at the northern border of grounds instead of being adjacent to the Train St.entrance has
resulted in the Anglican College needing to to request a change in Condition 12 of DA 325105.
3.Parking and Traffic Management Plan on page 80,E1,E2 and E5.
At this meeting I ask Mr.Usher or his representative to confirm whether the location of 'off-site'
parking areas that the College must submit to ESC for approval are in Train St.E5 discourages
parking in Caitlin Crescent.
Finally, I respectfully ask Councillors that , prior to voting on ' The Report Recommendation',
they drive through the narrow ,winding back streets of beautiful Broulee so that they can
understand the inability of the streets and residents to cope with up to 1000 cars per day. The
streets include Caitlin Crescent,Suzanne Way,Candlagan Drive,and last but not least Zanthus Drive
which always suffers from speeding cars. Please read and understand the many concerning
responses by affected residents,and please abide by ESC rules on 'Conflict of lnterest' when voting.
Thank you for this opportunity to speak at the meeting.
Peter Dunn.

Re: ltem PSR14/044 for discussion on Tuesday 22nd July.
Dear Eurobodalla Shire Council and Councillors,
I
would like to commend the recommendation to council.
This process has not been as simple as a submission to council. Upon my arrival as
principal in January 2OL4, I discovered that there had been an application for
complete removal of the original condition LZ by my predecessor, and that lack of
community consultation was causing considerable angst and genuine concern.
I put the submission on hold, consulted with members of the community to arrive at
what I believe has been a mutually agreed amendment to the condition in M325/05.
This agreement has been between St. Peter's Anglican College and representatives
of residents in Caitlin Crescent, Zanthus Drive, Suzanne Way and Candlagan Drive,
Broulee.
I note that additional requirements of an operations management plan and traffic
management plan have been added to the submission put to council. I agree that
these are beneficial and worthwhile, so agree to their addition. These documents
may take some time to finalise (and subsequently implement) to ensure their
robustness and appropriateness.
I have already made significant changes to school related access to the College
through the gates in Caitlin Crescent, and undertake for this work to continue. I look
forward to ongoing discussions with the community about how the College can be
an advantage and not a hindrance to the local community.
Finally, I apologise for not being in attendance personally for this meeting of council I am required in Sydney for immovable College related work.
Yours sincerely,
5tu*
