Evidence of capacity to comply
A proposed non-government school must:

- provide written evidence that the proposed facilities will comply with all relevant local council and government legislation
- have policies to assess and monitor the current standard and state of repair of proposed facilities, when established, taking into account the requirements of relevant New South Wales legislation, including the:
