(1) Extensive consultation and dust monitoring occurred between 2004 and 2008 in regards to excessive dust affecting the school.
The College sought planning permission to extend in 2010. Before planning approval was granted the Department of Health recommended to the Department of Planning that the College implement:
- an outdoors exposure management plan for when the college was impacted by visible dust; and
- an indoor air quality improvement plan that might include high fine particle filtration air conditioning to ensure that exposure to dust in the summer is well managed.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The report detailing the finding of the dust investigation studies is available on the Department of Planning website.
(4) Not applicable.
