Tasmanian schools are set to benefit from projects totalling $3.55 million in upgrades to learning environments, which will also generate economic growth and job creation.
The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to providing the best possible learning environments and opportunities for Tasmania’s children so they are better equipped for life in the workforce.
Today the Government advertised five tenders for projects around the state that will see our current and future students enjoy high-quality education facilities. This includes the refurbishment in existing learning areas in Cressy District High School for its extension to years 11 and 12.
In total, the Tasmanian Government has committed to a $94.9 million Capital Investment Program over the four years from 2015-16 to 2018-19 to ensure that schools across the state have high-quality education facilities that support learning and student engagement.
This strategic investment in Tasmania’s infrastructure will drive economic growth and create jobs from the planning through to the construction phase.
