Unity Grammar College is proposing an 850-capacity school on 325 Sixth Avenue in Austral.

The proposed school will accommodate Kindergarten-Year 6 and will comprise the following features:

internal private access roads with pick-up and drop-off zones,
3-storey school buildings with 28 classrooms,
library and flexible teaching spaces,
cultural and religious education and worship spaces,
internal performance areas, and
sporting spaces and external outdoor recreation areas.

Access will be provided via a formed driveway off Sixth Avenue, as well as off Haybale Street once this street is extended through to Nemean Road. A future park forms the western boundary of the site.

The objective of the proposal is to transfer the existing junior students accommodating the existing college at 70 Fourth Avenue to a new, purpose-built, junior school.

Strategically, the site is suitable for a new school, given it is within a rapidly growing precinct where there is a strong demand for educational establishments. The locality is one which is undergoing rapid change, transitioning from rural residential land uses to higher-density residential development, comprising smaller housing lots.

Medium density residential land is located to the north and south of the site. A neighbourhood centre is located north of the site within the Leppington North Precinct.

The proposal is considered of State significance given the capital investment value is in excess of $20 million. The project is still at very early stages of the assessment process, with an environmental impact statement yet to be lodged with the planning department.
