St. Aloysius’ College has received approval to convert a parish hall in Rozelle into a 200-student campus. 

Located at 48 Victoria Road and 2A – 2B Gordon Street, the new campus will initially be used to house students who have to be relocated to accommodate previously approved redevelopment plans on the Kirribilli site.

Both sites are owned by the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Church for the Archdiocese of Sydney.

According to the planning documents, there’s potential for Rozelle to become a permanent off-site campus for the college once the temporary arrangements are no longer needed.

Local residents raised concerns in relation to traffic and noise, which the Department of Planning and Environment has indicated will be adequately addressed through conditions of consent, including limiting outdoor play time.

The school will have to complete a ‘green travel plan’ to encourage students to take public transport, cycle or walk to school, rather than use a car.
