Budget boost for school building

Several major school infrastructure projects were among those to either begin, or to continue, on the Peninsula, as a result of the State Budget.

Ongoing projects will include the Stage 2 upgrade of the Brisbane Water Secondary College, and $3 million for the Woy Woy Transitional Care Unit.

Member for Peats Ms Marie Andrews said: "The upgrade at the Woy Woy campus includes a new science lab, upgrade of classrooms and a new cafeteria.

"It will also add a new movement studio and two new basketball courts to the school's facilities," she said.

Project costs will be announced once the tender has been awarded to ensure a competitive process.

Ms Andrews said a major upgrade would begin at Umina Public School.

"This upgrade consists of a new two-storey block of classrooms and toilets," she said.

Allocation for major road projects include $100,000 for a wire rope barrier along Brisbane Water Dr.

Ms Andrews said the projects created jobs and were a vital investment in the future of the people in the local area.
