The NSW Government is continuing its record commitment to school infrastructure with three\u00a0new and three upgraded schools across the state benefitting from more than $300 million as part of the\u00a0NSW Government\u2019s\u00a0COVID-19 Recovery Plan.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Education Minister Sarah Mitchell today announced the site selected for the new primary school at Edmondson Park.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re committed to delivering high-quality school infrastructure across the state, which is why we are building a new primary school in Edmondson Park and will also build new primary schools at Googong and Murrumbateman,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cWe will also deliver major multimillion dollar upgrades to Carlingford West Public School, Picnic Point High School and North Sydney Public School.\u201d
\nMr Perrottet said the school infrastructure projects would benefit those beyond the school gates by keeping people in work at a critical time.
\n\u201cThis stimulus\u00a0package will not only deliver quality schools to communities across NSW, it will support economic growth through job creation, which is vital for our state\u2019s recovery from this pandemic,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cIt is estimated these projects will support up to 1,500 jobs across metropolitan and regional areas of New South Wales.\u201d
\nMs Mitchell said the\u00a0intention is to commence procurement, including construction, for the six projects as soon as possible.
\n\u201cI\u2019m proud that we are continuing our record investment in school infrastructure right across\u00a0NSW,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
