As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2025-26 Budget is delivering $3.9 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.

A project to upgrade Condell Park High School is progressing.

16 new classrooms with 3 indoor learning commons
3 outdoor learning commons
new staff spaces including staff study and staff facilities
new school hall and canteen with multipurpose sport court
relocated and extended staff car park
significant refurbishment of the existing administration space including a new secure entrance
relocation and refurbishment of support learning unit classrooms
removal of all demountable classrooms.

Progress summary

Early work has begun to prepare for the relocation and expansion of the staff car park. We have put up fencing around the construction area and set up site sheds, and we've connected water, sewerage, and electricity.

A new temporary entrance for vehicles was created earlier this month. Construction vehicles will use this entrance to access the site while they work on the new car park. See photo on next page of the new entry.

Next steps

Construction on the car park will continue with the installation of underground services, ground preparation and remediation works. We anticipate the car park will be finished by November 2025. Access to the current car park will be maintained until the new car park is open.
We anticipate that construction of the new school buildings will start in August 2025. We will provide more information about the beginning of the building construction as the date approaches.
We are anticipating that construction will begin mid-2025 and we will provide a notice to the community closer to this date.

Frequently asked questions

When will work start on the new buildings?

When will the refurbishment of the existing buildings start?

It is expected that the refurbishment works will take place after the new buildings are complete, so towards the end of the project once staff and student are using the new building.

As we are working in an operational school, the refurbishment works will be done in stages, and in school holidays where possible, to minimise the impact on the school and ensure access to adequate classrooms for all faculties during the work.

When will all work be completed?

The final timeline and order for the completion of the upgrades at Condell Park High School is subject to approvals, the appointment of a contractor, and weather conditions.

We are planning for all works to be completed by Day 1 Term 1 2027. After a contractor is appointed, we will be able to finalise the stages and advise dates for the upgrade works to be completed.

Why is the school administration changing locations?

Currently the administration at Condell Park High School is difficult for visitors and delivery personnel to access and locate.

To increase safety of the school community and ensure no unauthorised access onto the school premises, renovations will be made to relocate the administration to the Third Avenue side of Building D.

The new building on Third Avenue will then connect to the existing administration building with a secure new entry gate.

The new administration area will also feature separate student and public reception and the current reception area will be refurbished into office spaces.

Why is the support learning unit changing locations?

As part of the project the support learning unit at Condell Park High School will be expanding to accommodate a total of 7 classes which is an addition of 2 classes from the 5 currently available.

In order to keep all classes together but remain close to the support learning courtyard and student drop off area, the decision was made to relocate the support unit to Level 1 of Building E above the administration floor. The building will be fully accessible with the addition of a new lift and ramp.

Will the design of the new buildings and refurbishments change?

The current plans give an overview of all work planned to be completed as part of the upgrade project and we anticipate the final plans will look very close to the current design.

The final detailed designs including colours, detailed floorplans, artwork, landscaping and furniture choices will be finalised in conjunction with the appointed contractor, architects and school leadership next year.

What are the sustainability features of the new buildings?

The new buildings have been registered with the Green Building Council Australia to comply with their 5 Star Green Star rating. The buildings will be highly efficient and feature materials free of fossil fuels, powered by renewables, built with lower carbon materials and offset with nature. The new buildings will also feature solar panels on the roof.

How will the impacts of construction on the school be minimised?

Construction work will take place year-round once started to give the school community access to new and upgraded facilities as soon as possible. We will work closely with the school leadership and our contractors to minimise the impacts to the school community. This includes ensuring noisy works aren’t planned during key school events or exams and deliveries are scheduled outside pick up and drop off times.

A construction compound will be established around the site for the new buildings which will provide a safe barrier between the school community and the construction work.

Online Survey

As part of the project to upgrade Condell Park High School, the Department of Education wants to improve accessibility to the school and to plan and promote programs for efficient, safe and sustainable travel. We recently conducted a short survey to gauge your support to install/upgrade the following: upgrade the pedestrian refuge on Third Avenue to a raised zebra crossing add on-street kiss and drop zones on the eastern and western sides of the Third Avenue Entrance add on-street kiss and drop zones on the northern and southern sides of Railway Parade widen the southern footpath on Railway Parade between the Third Avenue entrance and Fourth Avenue provide a kiss and drop area in front of the Townsend Street gate, with the potential to provide dedicated Kiss and drop spaces for support unit students. This survey closed on Wednesday 27 September 2023. All feedback was submitted to Canterbury Bankstown Council and our Transport Working Group and is being reviewed. We will provide more information on the public domain works in 2024 as updates become available.
