MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 701

Gordon Primary School

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on the 11 May 1993:

In relation to the new Gordon Primary School

(1) How is the school "designed for conversion to other community uses after the demographic tides of enrolment pass through".

(2) What was the construction cost.

(3j What was the extra construction cost; if any, to provide for conversion to other community uses.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

(1) The quotation in (1) was inadvertently attributed to the new Gordon Primary School in ,a Ministerial Media Statement, but correctly refers to the design of Bonython Primary School. Gordon Primary was not designed to allow for conversion to other community uses.

(2) Final construction cost of Gordon Primary School was $7.3m.

(3) Nil. Projections for Gordon Primary School indicate that the school will be needed long term, with enrolments in the vicinity of 300, so conversion for other uses was not a design consideration. However, in the case of Bonython Primary School which was designed for conversion to other uses, a small premium involving additional administrative, design and some construction costs was incurred. This premium has not been assessed. and would be most difficult to quantify.
