The Infrastructure Plan will support all Canberrans to access inclusive, high-quality education close to where they live.
The Education update of the ACT Government’s Infrastructure Plan was released today.
Key elements include:
- a new college in Gungahlin
- the modernisation and expansion of both Majura Primary School and Garran Primary School
- a new CIT campus in Woden
- planning for more schools in the Molonglo Valley.
The Infrastructure Plan update outlines projects with a total value of more than $1 billion, to build and renew public education and training facilities to meet the needs of a growing Canberra.
It is the biggest investment in education infrastructure in ACT Government history.
As the Territory continues to grow, the ACT Government is building new public schools and upgrading education facilities across Canberra.
This will support all Canberrans to access inclusive, high-quality education close to where they live.
In addition to new, modernised and expanded schools across Canberra, the update also makes clear the scale of work delivering maintenance and upgrades across the public-school network.
This includes works at 37 public schools as part of the Public School Infrastructure Renewal Program, roof replacements works in schools across the city, infrastructure investment to support inclusive education and planning work for future expansions of capacity in key growth areas.
Building new educational and skills facilities and upgrading existing ones will meet the needs of students, teachers and families into the future.
The new CIT Campus in Woden will see new educational and community facilities built in a central, well-connected area, complemented by a new light rail enabled public transport interchange.
This project also includes the relocation of the Yurauna Centre from the city to CIT Bruce campus.
The new centre will offer courses in literacy, numeracy, communication and vocational training in a culturally sensitive environment, tailored to the need of First Nations people in the region.
