Demand a rethink of the Department of Education Infrastructure’s Preschool Development being constructed amongst TPPS Koala habitat without adequate consultation – they are breaking ground soon:  Join the fight for genuine community consultation - your voice has never mattered more!

📍 Act Now

Share your feedback at: schoolinfrastructure@det.nsw.edu.au

Reserve your spot at the Department of Education in person info sessions next week:

Thursday 23 October 3.30pm-4.30pm or 4.30pm-5.30pm at Tacking Point Primary school: https://edu.nsw.link/TPPS-InfoSession

This is our last chance to be heard before construction begins in late 2025.

🌱 Why It Matters
The preschool will take over two thirds of our children’s outdoor play space away, destroy our precious koala habitat, and disrupt our community.
This isn’t just grass -it’s where our kids grow, play, and connect with nature. It’s home to koalas, black cockatoos, and irreplaceable childhood memories.

🚸 What’s at Risk

  •  Student wellbeing - the school’s large outdoor play space will be lost, which is essential for our kids’ physical activity, mental health, and social development.
  • Wildlife habitat – our school’s koala corridor will be destroyed, and our green heritage will be permanently impacted that we have worked so hard as a school to preserve.
  • Safety & Traffic Chaos- a new car park entrance threatens children, families, and cyclists. Bangalay Drive is already congested; increased traffic will raise the risk of serious accidents and further add to gridlock and frustration at school drop off and pick-ups as well as the commute to work.

Thank you for your support
