Vos Construction and Joinery has been appointed to deliver the new Legana Primary School, with building works expected to commence at the end of this month.
Minister for Education, Children and Youth Roger Jaensch said the Rockliff Liberal Government was delivering on its 2018 election commitment to build a new Legana Primary School.
“Legana is one of the fastest growing regions in the State and this new, state-of-the-art school will support the community,” Minister Jaensch said.
“Extensive community and stakeholder consultation has helped shape development of the new primary school, which will accommodate up to 350 students and include outdoor learning areas, multi-purpose hall, and an onsite oral health clinic.
“The Rockliff Liberal Government is investing in our learners, creating jobs and growing our economy.”
The school was designed by Tasmanian architects Cumulus Studio in collaboration with the project team, and the West Tamar Council.
The intake area for the new primary school includes Legana and Grindelwald.
“The new school is expected to open its doors to students for the first time in 2025 and is part of the Government’s record investment in new education infrastructure in the West Tamar region, which also includes an $11 million redevelopment of Exeter High School,” Minister Jaensch said.

After extensive consultation of the site master plan, our community has been eager to see construction of the new Legana Primary School and associated recreation space get underway.
The site is highly visible on the West Tamar Highway, and we look forward to seeing it transform over the coming months.
