About the project

Library

As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2024-25 Budget is delivering record education funding, including $3.6 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 Wentworth Point Public School includes a new four storey building facing Burroway Road, and an internal reconfiguration of the school library to cater for the growing population in the Wentworth Point community.

To stay updated on this project, please visit the ‘Get involved’ tab.

The benefits

The upgrade will include 26 additional modern, fit for purpose permanent teaching spaces with shared common areas and multipurpose spaces to meet growing enrolment demand in the area.
Ground floor support unit with 3 classrooms and dedicated amenities.
The library will be reconfigured to better suit the needs of the school, with open space also maximised and improved.
Removal of demountable classrooms to open up play space for students.

Safer crossing outside school

As part of the project to upgrade Wentworth Point Public School, we are pleased to confirm we will be building a new raised (wombat) crossing outside the school on Ferry Wharf Circuit.

This crossing was requested by the school community during early consultation on this upgrade and will provide an additional safe crossing point for students and families to walk safely to and from school.

Progress summary

The Development Application (DA) for the upgrade was lodged with City of Parramatta Council, has now been approved and the conditions of consent have been provided. All relevant documents can be found by searching DA/425/2023 in the DA Tracker tab on the Council website at the link here. https://onlineservices.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/ePathway/Prod/Web/default.aspx
The contract for the completion of the new permanent building has been awarded to Grindley Construction who are working with the school to finalise a timeline for construction.
Site establishment started in October 2024 in preparation for construction.
Site establishment, including temporary hoarding and fencing is complete.
Installation of site sheds, amenities and connection of services are underway.
An information session was held on Tuesday 5 November to share details of the timeline for completion, and how we manage construction impacts for the school and wider community.

Next steps

Temporary Construction access and sediment control.
Preliminary investigations, including geotechnical testing and site surveys to prepare the site for construction.
Construction work will start late November with piling. A piling rig is required to drive piles into the ground to provide foundational support for the new building.
The final location and design of the new pedestrian crossing are being developed in conjunction with Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) who are the owners of the road. It is expected the crossing will be completed in mid to late 2025 pending approvals.. We will update the community on the final location and timing in early 2025.
We will provide more information on next steps as the project progresses.
