Castle Hill Public School
The upgrade of Castle Hill Public School will include new fit-for-purpose classrooms and upgraded core facilities to support the growing population of North West Sydney. The project will deliver a new three-storey building with permanent classrooms and a new hall and student amenities. The upgrade will also provide facilities for specialist support classes, and refurbished administration and staff areas.
Main works starting
The main construction works for the school upgrade are expected to start in mid-November 2023. Initial works will involve bulk excavation, demolishing existing pavements, and installing a new on-site stormwater detention (OSD) tank within the construction zone. Some trees will need to be removed from the school site, including a Jacaranda tree on Les Shore Place, next to the Kids of the Castle child care centre. The project’s arborist report identified that these trees will be impacted by the construction works. New trees will be planted as part of the project. These works will prepare the site for construction of the new three-storey building, new hall, canteen and COLA. There will be an increase in construction vehicle traffic during these works, as trucks enter and exit the site with building materials via the QIC car park. Traffic control will be in place to ensure the safety of the community, where needed.
Working hours
The approved working hours for this project are 7 am to 5 pm, Monday to Saturdays. No work will take place on Sundays or public holidays.
How we manage construction impacts
School Infrastructure NSW will work with the contractor to manage and reduce any potential construction impacts including noise, vibration, dust, and traffic changes. To learn more about how construction impacts are managed visit: edu.nsw.link/ConstructionImpacts
Health and safety
The health, safety and well-being of students, staff, neighbours and community is our highest priority. During construction, the area will be fenced off from the rest of the school grounds to keep students safe and ensure they do not access the worksite. Thank you for your patience while we deliver this important school infrastructure.
