Empire Vale Public School completed project

project banner

The NSW Government is committed to rebuilding flood impacted schools in the Northern Rivers region, ensuring we build back better with more flood resilient schools for local students and local communities. Funding for the school projects has also been provided by the Infrastructure Betterment Fund, which is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments through the Disaster RecoveryFunding Arrangements (DRFA).

As part of this commitment we have completed the rebuilding of Empire Vale Public School. 

 

The benefits

  • New modern flood resilient classrooms and school facilities, including library, canteen and administration areas.

  • Landscaping, undercover learning area and yarning circle to  complement the school’s surroundings.

  • Retention of the original heritage school building.
