Overview

Infrastructure NSW has identified education as a key driver for a competitive and innovative economy

There are particular challenges in the current context for delivering high quality and well located schools

New approaches are required to plan and deliver schools

This presentation will explore the challenges and opportunities for education infrastructure to meet the needs of the 21st century

A Plan For Growing Sydney: What does it mean for Education?

Aims to guide land use planning decisions for the next 20 years

Decisions that determine where we live, where we work, and how we move around the city

With the State Infrastructure Plan will guide the delivery of Education and other Infrastructure

Infrastructure Delivery Plans

State Infrastructure Plan

“Infrastructure NSW recommends that a reservation of $700 million from the Rebuilding NSW initiative to create a 10-year Schools Growth Program for education infrastructure projects to service growing student populations.”

Subregional planning

Growth Infrastructure Plans

Co-ordination to secure strategic sites ahead of time in greenfield and infill areas.

Removing Barriers

Removing land use planning policy barriers to increasing school densities

Use of developer contributions to partially fund both land acquisition and the construction of education services to new developments

Colocation with social infrastructure

Page 11: Susan Rudland and Clare Brown - Urbis - Planning for growth – New models for 21st century schools

Centres

Living closer to work

is a specific direction- ‘resi growth in and around centres’

Strategic Centres are the priority

Preservation of cores within major centres is reinforced

Page 12: Susan Rudland and Clare Brown - Urbis - Planning for growth – New models for 21st century schools

School acquisitions and disposals

Page 14: Susan Rudland and Clare Brown - Urbis - Planning for growth – New models for 21st century schools

Potential responses for the future

Adaptive re-use of existing fabric

Co-location with education, health and community uses

Regional infrastructure clusters

Shared facilities with other sectors?

Staggered hours and timetables

Design responses for flexibility, adaptability, multifunction

Page 15: Susan Rudland and Clare Brown - Urbis - Planning for growth – New models for 21st century schools

Strategies proposed in NSW

Fewer, larger schools in highly urbanised areas, to minimise land acquisition costs

Optimisation of existing sites where feasible

A focus on removing land use planning policy barriers to increase school densities and facilitate use of developer contributions

Improved coordination between government landholders and non-government providers

Sharing infrastructure with communities

A focus on innovative models for future delivery – including:

Demonstration projects in metropolitan and regional areas to test and showcase innovative delivery for enhanced functionality

Partnering with the development industry to including partnership opportunities with non-government providers and PPP delivery

Delivery?

Different challenges in greenfield and infill areas

Can’t ignore population growth – its here

A structured program for delivery that has a long-term focus, can respond to emerging requirements, and is grounded by planning, delivery and commercial requirements.
