As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2024-25 Budget is delivering record education funding, including $3.6 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.

These funds will help upgrade Dalmeny Public School to deliver new and upgraded facilities.

Further updates will be released as the project progresses.

Progress summary

We have developed an initial design for the new school building in consultation with school leadership. We will provide notification prior to this work beginning.

Plans on exhibition

The planning application, known as a Review of Environmental Factors (REF), for the Dalmeny Public School upgrade is now on public exhibition on the NSW Planning Portal for Division 5.1 (Part 5) Activities until Wednesday 21 May 2025. Detailed plans for the proposed project are set out in the REF, which can be viewed at edu.nsw.link/DalmenyPSREF. Any comments on the proposal may be lodged through the Planning Portal by no later than Wednesday 21 May 2025.

We are in the process of procuring a construction contractor for the upgrade. We anticipate awarding the contract by mid-2025 with construction to commence soon after.

Next steps

When the exhibition period for the REF ends, any responses will be reviewed and considered as part of the REF process. The REF will be assessed by the department’s Planning Assessment team who will determine the outcome of the proposal. We expect to receive planning determination by mid-2025.

Further information will be shared once the outcome of the REF proposal is known, and the construction contractor is confirmed.

When will construction of the building be completed?

How will the impacts of construction be managed?

A hoarding will be erected around the construction site to reduce noise coming from the area.

Disruptive works will be scheduled to occur outside school hours where possible, and we will work closely with the school leadership to ensure minimal disruption from the construction works. A noise and vibration impact assessment was completed as part of the planning application, and we will follow the recommendations from this report in relation to noise and vibration impacts. We will also monitor noise and vibrations during construction and take action if needed.
