Contract Awarded for Brooke Avenue Public School Upgrade

04 Nov 2020 education

Construction will begin within months on the major upgrade at Brooke Avenue Public School, with North Construction & Building Pty Ltd awarded the contract to deliver new and improved facilities.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast and Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the multi-million dollar project would support the growing community in Killarney Vale.

 

“In 2019 the NSW Liberal Government promised to replace demountable classrooms with new, future-focused teaching spaces and I am so proud we are delivering on this commitment,” Mr Crouch said.

 

“Local company North Construction & Building has been selected to undertake this work, which will ensure that local jobs are prioritised.

 

“Construction is due to begin in early 2021 and will deliver a new building with four permanent teaching spaces and a new sports court.

 

“This new building will be located on the site of the existing sports courts, which will be relocated to a new location.”

 

Once the new building is constructed, students will transition from four of the existing demountable buildings to the new teaching spaces, and the four demountable buildings will be removed.

 

Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said these great new facilities will benefit the local community for generations to come.

 

“We want school students in NSW to have the very best education, and providing high-quality school facilities like these is a key part of that,” Mrs Mitchell said.

 

The NSW Government is investing $6.7 billion over four years to deliver more than 190 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.
