Six new schools and upgrades announced

Release date: 19 November 2020

Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Education Minister Sarah Mitchell have announced the site selected for the new primary school at Edmondson Park.

“We’re 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,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“We will also deliver major multimillion dollar upgrades to Carlingford West Public School, Picnic Point High School and North Sydney Public School.”

Mr Perrottet said the school infrastructure projects would benefit those beyond the school gates by keeping people in work at a critical time.

“It is estimated these projects will support up to 1500 jobs across metropolitan and regional areas of NSW.”

Ms Mitchell said the intention is to commence procurement, including construction, for the six projects as soon as possible.

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.
