Background and Site Details

A proposal has been lodged with the NSW Planning Department by Queenwood School for Girls, a private school located in Mosman, to construct a new multi-sport precinct at Oxford Falls. The site spans 2.14 hectares and was acquired by the school for $10.7 million in July 2024. The location is situated on Oxford Falls Road, directly opposite Oxford Falls Grammar School.

Development Application and Facilities

The school has submitted a State Significant Development (SSD) application. As part of this process, an environmental impact statement will be released for public comment.

According to the scoping report, the proposed precinct includes an outdoor field designed for soccer and hockey, which also accommodates eight tennis courts. An indoor hall is planned to support sports such as basketball and netball. Additional infrastructure includes a canteen, change rooms, and a car park positioned beneath the main hall.

Usage and Educational Purpose

Queenwood intends the precinct to be used during school hours as well as after hours and on weekends, with floodlights allowing activity throughout the winter months. The development is positioned as part of the school’s broader commitment to enhancing educational outcomes through sport.

School Communication and Community Engagement

In 2024, the school hosted a ceremonial sod-turning and smoking ceremony at the Oxford Falls site to mark its acquisition. Communications to parents and students have emphasised the intended role of the precinct in promoting teamwork, leadership, and long-term academic performance through physical education.
