11 John Batman Avenue, Werrington County NSW 2747

This is residential street this will add more traffic and cars parking in our street. There is already childcare at the end of the street. Where will the carpark be for them to pick up there kids. You have already let a share house be built in our street plus the extra cars who cut through our street using the bus only street when it's illegal and nothing is done to stop them using it.

I am personally really excited about this idea of having a privately owned centre close by to the school so that it makes drop off quicker. I believe it will be a fantastic addition to the area. I don't see there being an issue with parking as there will be parking facilities included with the development and it will only be prodominantly during early morning and late arvo that people will be going to be parking at the facility. It won't affect the school drop off or pick up parking at all.

I believe more needs to be addressed about the bus way and making it harder for people to drive through here as this is an ongoing issue. Maybe some camera that will catch non bus vehicles in the act and they are instantly issued a fine or an electric gate that the the buses only have access to.... just a few ideas off the top of my head.... The camera would also assist with recent issues of people letting off fireworks in the section as well.

What an excellent addition to the area for families who have both child care aged children as well as primary school children attending WCPS .
It won’t have any affect on the traffic in the area as others seem to think it will .
As for the bus lane , this could be used at peak periods to alleviate some of the congestion on Dunheved and Northern Roads particularly later in the evening from 4-6pm . All those cars that could use the bus lane to get to Jordan springs , Cranebrook etc without having to sit in a few kms worth of traffic on the roads previously mentioned.

There is no need for another child care centre when there is one directly across the road.

This will also add more congestion on the street due to extended times for pick ups and drop off competing with the school.

I can't see a problem with another Day care Facility being built, the bigger issue here is the Bus Lane that is only available for Buses or emergency services. (Considering how often it is used throughout the days for these vehicles) Jordan Springs East Residents that practically back onto John Batman have a ridiculous travel to get from JSE to Dunheved Road Cannot see why this Bus lane isn't available for travel early morning /mid to late afternoon to eliminate congestion on Dunheved and Patker Street in peak times.

I’m unsure where the demand for a child care centre is when there is one directly across the road. The area itself is an aging area.
The werrington county public school newsletter, published Friday 16th December 2022 states, demographic changes in the area and generational change occurs. In 2020 there were 447 students enrolled. In 2021, there were 430 students enrolled. In 2022, there were 371 students enrolled. In 2023 we will have 335 students enrolled. This equates to 112 less children attending the school over a 4 year period.
With reducing numbers of students being enrolled in the school, I am really struggling to see exactly where the demand for this centre is coming from?
Perhaps this child care centre would be better suited to an area where schools and families with younger children are moving to and living in, rather than an aging area where primary school numbers are clearly on the decline?

I don’t think I would like to be the neighbours next to this property. There is already a daycare centre at the end of the street and a community centre they could expand into that is barely used which would have adequate space, parking and facilities to extend the council daycare. Or spend the money on fixing the other council daycare that recently had a a tree fall down and damage it.

According to Werrington County all persons QuickStats latest release 2021, 0-4 years age population is 244. And the only Childcare service provider in the suburb is Werrington County Children’s Centre which has the capacity of 15% of the population.

Both neighborhood suburbs Werrington Downs and Werrington have more and bigger childcare service providers to look after the very similar population.

Werrington County is the nearest suburb to the new Jordan spring east Village which has growing 0-4 years population whilst there is no center-based childcare currently.

Not all children 0-4 utilise daycare facilities. Knocking down a family home for a daycare centre when housing is hard enough to find. Cranebrook is the nearest suburb to jordan springs. Werrington county is a 15 drive away from jordan springs, if jordan springs has a need for a daycare, build it there plenty of vacant land and would be a much shorter drive. Not really convenient when parents will drop their kids at primary school in jordan springs then drive all the way to werrington county to drop kids at daycare. Imagine having this built next door to you, having to sleep during the day as you work nights, the extra traffic and parking on the street as no one will park underground it's tiny/inconvenient. More convenient to park on the road and walk in, underground only has 4 spots for staff with over 9 staff needed or more. How will you make it safe for children walking to and from school with the driveway and madigan drive with extra cars coming from here.

Dear Penrith City Council, I have lived in Werrington County for 44 years. Our children went to the Werrington County School back in the day but did not attend Namatjira Child Care they went to Werrianda Child Care people choose other Child Care Centres in their local immediate area so we have a lot of pre- schools/ Child care in Werrington/Werrington County/Werrington/Downs Our pre- School here if you look them up are Werrianda Child Care, which has Vacancies, Namatjira Child Care has Vacancies and is near Werrington County School - for our Residents Children- but they also often utilise other centres in our local area also - we also have The Learning Jungle Victoria St,Werrington, Yoorami Children’s Centre Werrington, to choose from. If you live in Werrington or Werrington Down or County you have these options as well as V Happy Family Daycare & Pre- School - I have not search through all of these but the two I have had vacancies, so I suspect some of the others would have vacancies as well. So I feel we have enough Child care facilities in our suburb Werrington, Werrington County, Werrington Downs which serves all out needs we do not need any more, housing seems to be the big problem , just an ordinary house for someone to buy - your first home or your forever home. I feel this child care centre would be better served in Jordon Springs with new schools going up there and a growing population in there . The last thing Werrington/Werrington County/ Downs wants is more traffic streaming through from Jordon Springs to drop of children at daycare when they could use a facility in their own suburb as other Suburbs do and as we do. When the residents bought in Jordon Springs they knew where the entrances and exits were to the suburb- and how long the drive was - as we did when we bought in our area as is our drive out - and in . I feel we are not in need of another Daycare/Child Care Centre it would be better in a growing suburb like Jordan Springs Thanks for reading my thoughts on the matter Lesley Hudson
